page 159 note 1 “There can be no idea formed of a soul or spirit; for all ideas whatever, being passive and inert, they cannot represent unto us.. that which acts.. Such is the nature of Spirit, or that which acts, that it cannot be of itself perceived, but only by the effects which it produceth.. So far as I can see, the words will, understanding, mind, soul, spirit, do not stand for different ideas, or, in truth, for any idea at all, but for something which is very different from ideas, and which, being an agent, cannot be like unto, or represented by, any idea whatsoever.” And, added in the second edition: “Though it must be owned at the same time that we have some notion of soul, spirit, and the operations of the mind, such as willing, loving, hating—inasmuch as we know or understand the meaning of these words.” (Principles of Human Knowledge, Part I, sect, xxvii.) A grudging admission!
