Excerpt from Elementary Philosophy, Vol. 1: Being the Science of Reasoning and the Art of Correct Reasoning According to Science, or Logic, Critically Treated and Applied

It will not do to grant as true the poet's proposition that the noblest study of mankind is man. God and Infinity, and Truth and Good, as being' of and coeternal with God, are grander and nobler studies; and our noblest study after these is to know and see things truly,just as God knows and sees them in their real being, as nearly as we possibly can with Our limited minds; not in their mere qualities as physical science views them. Weight, color, hardness, affinity, attraction, repulsion, motion, extension, mode, form are all qualities, not realities; and it is realities that we shall seek for in Metaphysics.
