Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods, 1915, Vol. 12 All the particular needs comprised in the general problem may be grouped under two heads, or classes of good, viz., knowledge and practical well-being; giving us the joys of contemplation and those of action or passion. Though both sorts of good may reside in one and the same object, or one kind may be the means to the other, they are distinct ends, and often are pursued in comparative independence of each other. The physicist does not usually seek to be a social te former, nor the merchant prince a biologist. Yet, however diflerent they are, the value of each end'would be enriched by addition of the other. It is to the scientist good in itself to know the properties of electricity; but the utility of the knowledge in no way detracts from. But rather enhances, the measure of its worth. The organization of a democratic commonwealth is a vast practical achievement; but it loses nothing of excellence if it is found to be a structure of great artistic merit. No intolerance is demanded by the pursuit of either sort of good. However much of exclusive concentration each may for a time demand of the pursuer, their duality is not in the end a hostil ity. Each demands supplementation, so far as possible, by the other. The initial need, in dividing, remains integral; in fact, we shall soon see that division is the very means of retaining its integrity through the transformation it must undergo.
