		Smith, "Clifford was above all and before all a geometer." In this he was an innovator against the excessively analytic tendency of Cambridge mathematicians.
		As a philosopher Clifford's name is chiefly associated with two phrases of his coining, "mind-stuff" and the "tribal self." The former symbolizes his metaphysical conception, which was suggested to him by his reading of Spinoza.

	W.K. Clifford and William James
		Clifford insists: the ship-owner is morally responsible for the deaths of these people.
		Clifford agrees that even if my belief is fixed, I can control my action, and I have duties to act in certain ways (e.g., to have my ship checked before sending it on a long voyage) if even if I don't believe there is anything wrong.
		So even if Clifford overplays his hand in general, it might be argued that applying the point to religious faith is perfectly in order.

		Clifford was born in Exeter, Devon, and educated at Cambridge, where he spent his academic career until 1871, when he was appointed professor of applied mathematics at University College, London.
		In this way representing motions in three-dimensional non-Euclidean space, and together with his suggestion in 1870 that matter itself was a kind of curvature of space, Clifford may be seen to have foreshadowed in some respects Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
		Clifford continued his studies in non-Euclidean geometry, with reference particularly to Riemann surfaces, which he proved to be topologically equivalent to a box with holes in it.

		Argument 1: Clifford begins with the story of the ship owner who initially has doubts about the seaworthiness of his ship, but then lulls his conscience to sleep by means of wishful thinking.
		Clifford is making the argument that more often than not a person is making a judgment on grounds of no proper belief.
		Where Clifford says that a man has no time to believe if he has no time to test his belief, James says that it is not always necessary to be so strict, especially on matters of insignificant importance.

		Clifford points out that if the ship sinks, the owner will be directly responsible for the deaths that occur as a result of his negligence.
		Clifford also points out that even if the ship managed to make the voyage, the owner would still be guilty, he just wouldn’t be found out, as the question has to do with the foundation for his belief rather than the outcome.
		Clifford maintains that it is one’s duty to investigate both sides of an issue, and when one holds a belief that is not based upon evidence he looses his objectivity and is unable to perform that duty.

		Clifford was educated at King's College, London, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was elected a fellow of the latter in 1868.
		In addition, he used biquaternions to study motion in non-Euclidean spaces and certain closed Euclidean manifolds (surfaces), now known as "spaces of Clifford-Klein." He showed that spaces of constant curvature could have several different topological structures and proved the topological equivalence of a Riemann surface to a box with holes in it.
		Karl Pearson of England further developed Clifford's views on the philosophy of science, which were related to those of Hermann von Helmholtz and Ernst Mach, both of Germany.
