Lucian, it is certain, will supply no one with a religionor a philosophy; but it may be doubted whether any writer will supplymore fully both example and precept in favour of doing one's thinkingfor oneself; and it may be doubted also whether any other intellectuallesson is more necessary. He is _nullius addictus iurare in verbamagistri_, if ever man was; he is individualist to the core. Noreligion or philosophy, he seems to say, will save you; the thing isto think for yourself, and be a man of... sense. 'It was but smallconsolation, ' says _Menippus_, 'to reflect that I was in numerousand wise and eminently sensible company, if I was a fool still, allastray in my quest for truth. ' _Vox populi_ is no _vox dei_ for him;he is quite proof against majorities; _Athanasius contra mundum_ ismore to his taste. "What is this I hear?" asked Arignotus, scowlingupon me; "you deny the existence of the supernatural, when there isscarcely a man who has not seen some evidence of it?" "Therein lies myexculpation, " I replied; "I do not believe in the supernatural, because, unlike the rest of mankind, I do not see it; if I saw, Ishould doubtless believe, just as you all do.
