STEWART'S DISSERTATION, AND BACON.

MR. POOLE.

1. The optimism of Leibnitz was necessary from his system? State its defects as compared with that of other philosophers.

2. State Spinoza's conception of the Deity as explained by Stewart; and the leading points of difference in it from that acknowledged by Christians?

3. What is Laplace's explanation of the sufficient reason? He misapprehends the Epicurean views according to Stewart. Explain the principle as applied to man's conduct.

4. How does Stewart state Kant's argument for man's free will, who rests his proof on two grounds? What is the condition of man's responsibility, according to Kant?

5. Locke says, "The next thing to be considered is how bodies produce ideas in us and that is manifestly by impulse, the only way in which we can conceive bodies to act." Show that this may be explained without contradicting the fact of Locke being a conceptualist. The principle involved is one admitted by many philosophers?

6. Show that the system of metaphysical inquiry chiefly pursued involves the dangers arising from idola specus; and point out how this may be to some extent avoided.

7. State the curious views of Leibnitz on the subject of knowledge, as noticed by Stewart, which seem closely to resemble those of Plato.

8. Show that Idealism, in the English sense of the word, is the natural result of Kant's system.

9. To what sciences, according to Bacon, is syllogism applicable? Why does he reject it in the case of some other sciences? and what difference, which he alludes to, exists in the two classes?

Io. State Bacon's instances of idola tribus; and the special cases which he adduces to illustrate each.

STEWART AND MANSEL.

DR. DICKSON.

1. State at length the views of the Realist and the Nominalist respecting Ideas. Mention the principal philosophers of these two sects, both ancient and modern, noting the opinion peculiar to and distinctive of each.

2. On what grounds does Mansel exclude the principle of the sufficient reason from the laws of thought?

3. How do the views of Stewart and Mansel differ respecting Perception, Conception, and Imagination?
