Whence it would seem that Augustine, towards the end of his life, came to regard doubt and ignorance as purely volitional !
' See, on Academic Skepticism, the remarks in vol. i. Evening iv.

Digitized by VjOOQ IC 166 EVENINGS WITH THE SKEPTICa imposcdbla It was hj the promise of this definitive possession that ManichsBanism had been able to entrap him. Finding himself deceived, he tried to discover a substitute in the probabiUtie...s and perpetual truth-search of the Academics. In reality it was only a promise of water to a man not only thirsty but determined at any risk to quench lus thirst. I cannot say that I regard such an intellect, with its passionate and indomitable cravings, as the highest in its own nature or as the best adapted for the pursuit of truth in a world constituted Uke our own. There is little in the laws and phenomena of the universe which suggests impatience as an useful implement in their discovery and interpretation, nor can it be said to be a fact impressed on human history that he who is determined to realize truth within any given period must inevit- ably succeed.
