120 DEATH AND RESURRECTION. 



entirely different in teleological causal- 

 ity from that in mechanical. While 

 the natural product is an effect that 

 cannot fail to appear, the product of 

 art, on the contrary, is an effect that 

 primarily never could be expected, be- 

 cause it has no cause in the material 

 world; but further, if it is forthcoming, 

 the tie between cause and effect is so 

 loose that such a product may be left 

 and will remain in any stage of its 

 production. It may be just commenced, 

 half ready, or nearly completed; be 

 better or worse, be a failure, and so 

 on, whereas the natural product springs 

 forth of physical necessity from its 

 cause and never can be different from 

 what it is. 



Wills and physical forces then stand 

 against each other as two fundamen- 

 tally and radically different causes. A 

 will may neglect to do what it ought 

 to, may be idle, industrious, undecided; 

 a physical force cannot leave undone 

 what it has to do, can never be called 

 idle, industrious or undecided.
