Book Details
First Sentence
"When Thomas Carlyle wrote in his Sartor Resartus (Boston, 1836) that 'boundless as is the domain of man, it is but a small fractional proportion of it that he rules with Consciousness and by Forethought', and when he added that 'it is through symbols that man, consciously or unconsciously, lives, works and has his being', he was not introducing any novel concepts of philosophy, since there have been thinkers at least since Plato who would have put the matter not much differently."
