Unfortunately for speculation (but perhaps fortunately for the practi cal vocation)C of humanity, reason sees itself, in the midst of its greatest expectations, so entangled in a crowd of arguments and counterargu mentsd that it is not feasible, on account either of its honor or even of its security, for reason to withdraw and look upon the quarrel with in difference, as mere shadow boxing, still less for it simply to command peace, interested as it is in the object of the dispute; so nothing is left ex cept to reflect on the origin of this disunity of reason with itself, on whether a mere misunderstanding might perhaps be responsible for it, after the elucidation of which perhaps both sides will give up their proud claims, but in place of which reason would begin a rule of lasting tranquility over understanding and sense.
