Excerpt from The Veil of Isis: A Series of Essays on Idealism
According to a French writer, quoted by Dugald Stewart in his Dissertation, the comparative history of philosophical systems is nothing else than a history of the variations of philosophical schools, leaving no other impression upon the reader than an insurmountable disgust at all philosophical researches, and a demonstrated conviction of the impossibility of raising an edifice on a soil so void of consistency as that which philosophy supplies.
I have long come to the conclusion that the general conviction to which this passage gives expression is erroneous, and that even the extent of the variations of opinion on philosophical questions has been greatly exaggerated by those who have written on the subject.
