Reseña del editor

I ts importance was not evident until the theory of evolution came into prominence and, although that theory has now been expounded in regard to a great variety of subjects, I have not yet found any statement of its application to epistemology. Viewed as a product of the evolution of nervous function, knowledge is seen to have grown from the need of the organism to forecast the consequences of voluntary action, and throughout its development from its most elementary forms to the latest achievements of science it is found to subserve this requirement. It is built up from sensory reactions woven into a system by means of certain hypotheses: elements which may be compared to the warp and woof of a textile fabric. One of the basic hypotheses is that sensory re actions have a fairly constant relation to changes, other than themselves, which are supposed to take place in an external world. It is a common assumption that by scientific knowledge we can get behind our senses and picture the nature of the (hypothetical) external world as it exists independent of sensation.
