whose mode of being is that of brute fact; just as our experience of them is. That this does not preclude Actuals from being governed by reason is shown by the analogy of the execution of a decree of a court; founded on reason, being entrusted to a sheriff who may likewise accept it from reasonable motives, but which yet, in itself, is a mere exercize of brute force. A stone let fall is accelerated to the earth according to beautiful law; But the event considered as a unit and in itself is a brute fact. The third Universe is the aggregate of everything whose being consists in its having in itself (no matter in how low a degree, or under what limitations,) the self-actualizing power of reason, such as right, which, notwithstanding the integrity of every man, is unquestionably in the end the greatest of all social agencies such as all verifiable destinations and tendencies and growths, such as every mind, or soul.
