<p>In the second place, it is a determination of our own soul, it is ''our'' experience;  we feel that it is so because it lasts in time.  Were it a flash of sensation, there for less than an instant, and then utterly gone from memory, we should not have time to think it ours.  But while it lasts, and we reflect upon it, it enters into the internal world.</p>

<p>We have now considered that experience as a determination of the modifying object and of the modified soul;  now, I say, it may be and is naturally regarded as also a determination of an idea of the Universal mind;  a preëxistent, archetypal Idea.  Arithmetic, the law of number, ''was'' before anything to be numbered or any mind to number had been created.  It ''was'' though it did not ''exist''.  It was not ''a fact'' nor a thought, but it was an unuttered word.  ''En arche en o logos.''  We feel an experience to be a determination of such an archetypal Logos, by virtue of its //&nbsp;''depth of tone'' /&nbsp;logical intension&nbsp;//, and thereby it is in the ''logical world''.</p>

<p>Note the great difference between this view and Hegel's.  Hegel says, logic is the science of the pure idea.  I should describe it as the science of the laws of experience in virtue of its being a determination of the idea, or in other words as the formal science of the logical world.</p>
