To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the doctrine of the Materialists. '*Man,** says Moleschott, "is IS MAN ONLY A MACHINE ? 77 produced from wind and ashes. The action of vegetable life called him into existence. Man is the sum of his parents and his wet-nurse, of time and place, of wind and weather, of sound and light, of food and clothing ; his will is the necessary consequence of all these causes governed by the laws of nature, just as the planet in its orbit and the vegetable in its soil. Thought consists of the motio...n of mat- ter. It is a translocation of the cerebral sub- stance; without phosphorus there can be no thought ; and consciousness itself is nothing but an attribute of matter.'** "Free will," says Carl Vogt, " does not exist ; neither does any amenability or responsibility, such as morals and penal justice and heaven knows what would impose upon us. At no mo- ment are we our own masters. .
The organism cannot govern itself; it is governed by the laws of its material combina- tion. It is impossible to demonstrate the admissibility of punishment." f In such a philosophy there is, of course, no room for morality.
