James G. Paradis writes that the extensive notes left behind in Huxley's
manuscripts reveal his aspiration to construct a “system” that “would have
borrowed from Greek Stoical thought and from the philosophy of Spinoza,
incorporating the principle of evolutionary progression as the driving force of
the whole.” Paradis,
Man's Place
,
4, 185. Paradis also discusses Carlyle's influ-
ence on Huxley as a spiritual mentor (48-49).
