NEWMAN'S PHILOSOPHY 99 We see, I think, in the outline I have given of Newman's positions that he was fully alive to the problems of episte- mology and metaphysics. The characteristic of his treat- ment is a keen sense of fact and a dislike of the pedantry involved in theory which does not correspond to fact. Better an incomplete theory than this. It may be said that his minute study of the psychology of knowledge led him to the conclusion that no adequate epistemology is possible. Thus I am br...ought back to his saying : ' The human mind is unequal to its own powers of apprehension, ' as limiting his view of the scope for fruitful work in philosophy. A complete theory presupposes that the human mind is equal to its powers of apprehension. To Newman such a complete theory had, I think, some of the absurdity of the famous recipe for catching a bird by putting salt on its tail. When you can catch the bird you will be able to put the salt on its tail, and when you can discern and submit to the philosopher's microscope all the elements of the living mind which thinks and knows, you can form a com- plete theory of knowledge.
