CHAPTER VIIL 



MAN'S ANIMAL AND SPIRITUAL MIND. 



Schelling and Hegel on Nature as " petrified intelligence." Hope on " Origin 

 and Prospects of Man " Matter without properties. Mind a pro- 

 perty of matter. No limit to the properties of Matter. Brutes havo 

 one mind, man two minds. Animal and Divine. Agassiz on two 

 minds. Why his animal mind degenerated. Man should distrust 

 man. Manner in which mind is formed. From food. Difference 

 between animal mind and Divine. Situation of the mind. Of 

 Memory. Brain a picture gallery. Difference between man'* 

 mind and the brutes. 



SOME philosophers assert that mind is matter. Schelling and 

 Hegel, for instance, say that surrounding things arc " solidified 

 mind," and nature is " petrified intelligence." 



Hope, also, on the " Origin and Prospects of man," says : 

 " Can we say that God has not in matter itself laid the seeds of 

 every faculty of mind, rather than that he has made the first 

 principles of mind, entirely distinct from that of matter 1 

 Cannot the first cause of all we see and know, have fraught 

 matter itself from its very beginning, with all the attributes 

 necessary to develope into mind." 



But we can fancy matter without, any properties, where the 

 world would be a perfect " chaos without form and void ;" as it 

 was in the beginning ; and once this is admitted, mind cannot 

 be matter, but only a property of it.
