Overview

Excerpt from Kidd's Social Evolution This, of course, does not mean that we are not to derive all the help we can from the study Of the lower stages in the develop ment of that which we are trying to interpret. It does not mean that we are not to get what light we can by tracing the historic growth of the moral sentiments; nor that there is nothing to learn in seeking the genesis of the idea of God. It does not mean that the study of comparative anatomy is unessential to a knowledge of the human body. It does not mean that a knowledge of the process will not help us to an understanding of the product. It only means that antecedence is not identical with causality, and that similarity is not identity. It means that, having traced g back to f, and f to e, and so on back to a, the origin, we are then to find the key to the process, not in the starting-point, but in the whole process as seen from the end to the beginning. In other words, the true nature of anything can be known, not from the S5 of), but from the re/log. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
