Henry Thomas Buckle Quotes

Unconscious, Perhaps, Of The Remote Tendency Of His Own Labours, He [Joseph Black] Undermined That Doctrine Of Material Heat, Which He Seemed To Support. For, By His Advocacy Of Latent Heat, He Taught That Its Movements Constantly Battle, Not Only Some Of Our Senses, But All Of Them; And That, While Our Feelings Make Us Believe That Heat Is Lost, Our Intellect Makes Us Believe That It Is Not Lost. Here, We Have Apparent Destructibility, And Real Indestructibility. To Assert That A Body Received Heat Without Its Temperature Rising, Was To Make The Understanding Correct The Touch, And Defy Its Dictates. It Was A Bold And Beautiful Paradox, Which Required Courage As Well As Insight To Broach, And The Reception Of Which Marks An Epoch In The Human Mind, Because It Was An Immense Step Towards Idealizing Matter Into Force.
