Basil Mansel. The philos- opher of Materialism attempts to prove by these, his adversaries, that all our knowledge is merely relative, and that God is unknowable (along with all other un- conditioned conceptions). The real amount of Spen- cer's whole process, we saw, was but this : That, since God is " unthinkable, " philosophy should discard Him, and refer everything to a single principle : force eternally persistent. And that, as all material phenomena, which he holds the only " thinkable " i...deas, the more fully their causes are understood, are more nearly reduced to a single invariable law, the creation of a philosophy must consist in the unification of all sciences as laws of a single power, and all the effects of the universe, whether material, mental, or supernatural (so called), as effects of that single power : eternal force. I showed the student, very briefly, but very clearly, confirming my assertion by Mr. Spencer's own admis- sions, that if we let him take his choice, then his matter and his force-God have become as absolutely "unthinkable" as spirit and God.
