MAN'S PLACE IN THE WORLD. 273with all the special phased of individuality,often involving strange perils and perplexities,has been inherited by us, gatheringwithin the boundaries of our life a taskwhich we would willingly have shunned. Weperceive in this a science of the specialitiesof individual nature, standing alongside thescience explaining the common characteristicsof man which come within the rangeof physiological research. But it is beyondthis, that the problem arises concerning themoral government of life, so that equallywhat is common, and what is peculiar to manshall be regulated according to rational law.For this all see to be true, excepting alwayscases of manifest infirmity and disorder,that equally the common and the specialpowers of the individual are to be regulatedby the law of benevolence. There are noexemptions for special temperament, whateverdiversities there may be in the taskwhich application of the law may involve forjsome. The ought has ascendency over humanlife ;* the bare perception of this grandreality, taken with all the distinctions involvedin its application to personal conduct,* See Appendix XIII.
274 SCIENCE AND RELIGION.and all the forms of personal control exercisedfor its fulfilment, lies apart from thediscoveries of physiology. In these thingswe see most clearly what mind is, and whatmind does in the management of human life.We discover clearly thus what it is whichmakes human life superior to the life of theanimals around us; what it is which makesthe best in human life stand essentially connectedwith the subordination of the animalnature to a higher nature within; and inwhat respect it stands true that physiology isa science of only a part of our nature, andthat the lower, because the subject part. Inthis man knows, apart from all science, andquite independently of philosophy too, thathe has a higher life, working, rejoicing, andadvancing to nobler excellence, just as hegoverns his body, keeping it in subjection,while revering an ideal of moral and spiritualexcellence towards the attainment of whichit is the duty and honor of humanity to strive.
