Excerpt from The Evolution of Knowledge: A Review of Philosophy

In the following pages the chief systems of ancient and modern thought are compared, the object being to measure the approach of each system to the goal of philosophy which is the demonstration of the unity of all things. The most difficult unity to explain is that of mind and matter. Prior to the discovery of evolution this explanation was generally considered impossible, but now the problem can be dealt with scientifically. If by reducing the intellectual and the physical to a single principle, the various schemes of philosophy are rendered more intelligible, those who believe that metaphysical speculation leads only to mystery may again take heart.

This attempt to simplify the problem of being would be of wide interest were it more generally understood that philosophy is not only a last analysis, but a commanding synthesis; that its purpose is not alone to resolve the most general terms of existence into a single principle, but to reveal the harmonies of life and the universe as the most direct way of increasing human happiness.

The discovery that all the sciences spring from a centre of reality reminds us that unity was the ideal of the ancient Greeks.
