WITH the world of intellectual production, as with that of organic generation, nature makes no sudden starts. Natura nihil facit per saltum; and in the history of philosophy there are no absolute beginnings. Fix where we may the origin of this or that doctrine or idea, the doctrine of "reminiscence," for instance, or of "the perpetual flux," the theory of "induction," or the philosophic view of things generally, the specialist will still be able to find us some earlier anticipation of that doctrine, that mental tendency.

Steele, for one, had certainly succeeded in putting himself, and his way of taking the world-for this pioneer of an everybody's literature had his subjectivities-into books. What a survival of one long-past day, for instance, in "A Ramble from Richmond to London"! What truth to the surface of common things, to their direct claim on our interest! yet with what originality of effect in that truthfulness, when he writes, for instance: "I went to my lodgings, led by a light, whom I put into the discourse of his private economy, and made him give me an account of the charge, hazard, profit, and loss of a family that depended upon a link." [11] It was one of his peculiarities, he tells us, to live by the eye far more than by any other sense (a peculiarity, perhaps, in an Englishman), and this is what he sees at the early daily service then common in some City churches.

Some, indeed, may find in the very delicacy, the curiosity, with which such distinctions are drawn, by Pascal's friends as well as by their foes, only the impertinence, the profanities, of the theologian by profession, all too intimate in laying down the law of the things he deals with-the things "which eye hath not seen" pressing into the secrets of God's sublime commerce with men, in which, it may be, He differs with every single human soul, by forms of thought adapted from the poorest sort of men's dealings with each other, from the trader, or the attorney. Pascal notes too the "impious buffooneries" of his opponents. The good Fathers, perhaps, only meant them to promote geniality of temper in the debate. But of such failures-failures of taste, of respect towards one's [65] own point of view-the world is ever unamiably aware; and in the "Letters" there is much to move the self-complacent smile of the worldling, as Pascal describes his experiences, while he went from one authority to another to find out what was really meant by the distinction between grace "sufficient," grace "efficacious," grace "active," grace "victorious." He heard, for instance, that all men have sufficient grace to do God's will; but it is not always prochain, not always at hand, at the moment of temptation to do otherwise.

"The Renaissance" from Walter Pater. English essayist, literary and art critic, and writer of fiction (1839-1894).
Among the works produced by Walter Pater, a critic, and essayist from Victorian England, is the novel "Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas." Throughout its pages, readers get taken on a journey through the life of Marius, a man of noble birth who lived during the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. With a spotlight on Marius's emotional and cognitive processes, the novel dissects his pursuit of purpose and fulfillment through the various experiences and intellectual explorations he undergoes. The aestheticism of Pater's writing style, replete with its emphasis on sensuous detail and the art of language itself, is unmistakable throughout the book. Moreover, the narrative incorporates notions of philosophy, specifically Stoicism, in the way it navigates Marius's struggle to balance his yearning for pleasure with his quest for a profound purpose. Exploring the themes of aesthetics and spirituality, 'Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas' is a novel that is both thought-provoking and complex in nature.
Walter Pater's book Marius the Epicurean is split into two parts. After the success of the first book, the second one is called Marius The Epicurean Vol 2 'His Sensations and Ideas.' The book goes on with the story of Marius, a young Roman prince who is looking for a way to live that will make him happy. In this volume, Marius goes to Athens to study philosophy with Marcus Aurelius, who is a Stoic scholar. Marius's time in Athens gives him a chance to think about duty, ethics, and the nature of the soul. He looks at how art and life are connected and how beauty and pleasure can help us understand the world better. The book is also known for how it looks at the conflict between Christianity and paganism. Marius struggles to find a balance between his Christian faith and his desire to live a fun life.
