Book Description

Excerpt from A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Nature, Origin, and Extent, of Animal Motion: Deduced From the Principles of Reason and Analogy Every man may in some measure be said to be born a philosopher; and notwithstanding that by many ingenious persons the soul has been imagined at its birth to be no more than Carte Blanche; yet I believe the seeds of science are originally sown in every mind. To think and reason justly is the whole business or philosophy, and it is almost always owing to the will, rather than the faculties of men, that knowledge is so little cultivated among them.
