Excerpt from The Library of Oratory, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 6 of 15: With Critical Studies of the World's Great Orators by Eminent Essayists
As much must be said of history and philosophy. The philosopher speaks and writes. Can he, then, like the orator, find accents which make truth enter the soul; colors and forms that make it shine forth evident and manifest to the eyes of intelligence? It would be betray ing his cause to neglect the means that can serve it; but the profoundest art is here only a means, the aim of phil osophy is elsewhere; whence it follows that philosophy; is not an art. Without doubt, Plato is a great artist; he is the peer of Sophocles and Phidias, as Pascal is some times the rival of Demosthenes and Bossuet; but both would have blushed if they had discovered at the bottom of their souls another desngn, another aim than the service of truth and virtue.
