But in Plato we have reached a height from which a man may look

into the distance and behold the future of the world and of

philosophy. The ideal of the State and of the life of the

philosopher; the ideal of an education continuing through life

and extending equally to both sexes; the ideal of the unity and

correlation of knowledge; the faith in good and immortality-are

the vacant forms of light on which Plato is seeking to fix the

eye of mankind.
