The destruction of any piece of the apparatus involves the loss 93 NOTES of some one or other of the vital operations ; and the consequence is that, "as far as life extends, we have before us only an organic function, not a Ding-an-sich, or an expression of that imaginary entity the soul. This fun- damental proposition . . . Carries with it the denial of the immortality of the soul, since, where no soul exists, its mortality or immortality cannot be raised as a question. . . . The function fill...s its time, — the flame illuminates, and therein gives out its whole being. That is all ; and verily that is enough. . . . Sensation has its definite organic con- ditions, and, as these decay with the natural decay of life, it is quite impossible for a mind accustomed to deal with realities to suppose any capacity of sensation as surviving when the machinery of our natural existence has stopped. " [E. Duhring: der Werth dcs Lcbcns, 3rd edition, pp. 48, 168. ] 94 NOTES NOTE 3, page 27 The philosophically instructed reader will notice that I have all along been placing my- self at the ordinary dualistic point of view of natural science and of common sense.
