Commens Dictionary entries from ‘Lecture I [R]’

Necessitarianism
1903 \| MS [R] 451:5-6 …the doctrine of the necessitarians is that when the time for action comes, we act under a necessity which we cannot then control. I dare say they may be substantially right. We cannot control the actions that are past. But our future actions we can determine in a measure. Knowing that, we deliberate and formulate an ideal of conduct and then, having formulated our ideal, we go through a process similar to that of impressing a lesson on our memory, whereby mere resolutions are converted into determinations which are acquired dispositions.	preview

Reasoning
1903 \| MS [R] 451:12-13 …no sooner have we drawn a conclusion, than we begin to turn upon it with a critic’s eye, and to ask whether it really conformed to our logical ideals. Indeed, unless we do this, in the proper use of language the operation ought not to be called reasoning; for reasoning properly means controlled thought, and the only possible control consists in critical review, or self-confession.	preview
