'Reality is not in its truest nature a process,' Mr. McTaggart tells us, 'but a stable and timeless state.'

Mr. McTaggart writes, in discussing the notion of a mixture: 'The two principles, of rationality and irrationality, to which the universe is then referred, will have to be absolutely separate and independent.

It is as likelyI am using Mr. McTaggart's examplesthat a majority of Londoners will burn themselves alive to-morrow as that they will partake of food, as likely that I shall be hanged for brushing my hair as for committing a murder, and so forth, through various suppositions that no indeterminist ever sees real reason to make.

Mr. McTaggart, for example, writes: 'Does not our very failure to perceive the perfection of the universe destroy it? ...

Mr. McTaggart treats us to almost as thin a fare.

But the whole basis on which Mr. McTaggart's own certainty so solidly rests, settles down into the one nutshell of an assertion into which he puts Hegel's gospel, namely, that in every bit of experience and thought, however finite, the whole of reality (the absolute idea, as Hegel calls it) is 'implicitly present.

Mr. McTaggart picks plenty of holes of his own in Hegel's logic, and finally concludes that 'all true philosophy must be mystical, not indeed in its methods but in its final conclusions,' which is as much as to say that the rationalistic methods leave us in the lurch, in spite of all their superiority, and that in the end vision and faith must eke them out.

In the most limited moments of our private experience, the absolute idea, as Dr. McTaggart told us, is implicitly contained.
