The Dead Govern The Living.

Each Department Of Knowledge Passes Through Three Stages. The Theoretic Stage; The Theological Stage And The Metaphysical Or Abstract Stage.

Everything Is Relative; And Only That Is Absolute.

Monotheism Occupies So Large A Space In The View Of Modern Minds, That It Is Scarcely Possible To Form A Just Estimate Of The Preceding Phases Of The Theological Philosophy.

The Law Is This: That Each Of Our Leading Conceptions-each Branch Of Our Knowledge-passes Successively Through Three Different Theoretical Conditions: The Theological, Or Fictitious: The Metaphysical, Or Abstract; And The Scientific, Or Positive.

The Only Real Life Is The Collective Life Of The Race; Individual Life Has No Existence Except As An Abstraction.
