Excerpt from The Sphere of Science: A Study of the Nature and Method of Scientific Investigation

The chief need of our time in all departments of thought is not so much more facts as a more rational treatment of the facts already at hand. Nearly all the sciences are now undergoing a radical reconstruction but The New Astronomy, The New Chemistry.

Excerpt from The Sphere of Science: A Study of the Nature and Method of Scientific Investigation

The primary object of this book is to point out with clearness what it is that constitutes a science, and to set forth with some detail what are the grounds upon which every science rests and what are the principles and rules that must be followed in order to construct one.

It is maintained from the first chapter to the last that every department of knowledge is capable of scientific treatment and must be so treated before any great advance can be made towards a consistent and rational conception of the universe. Marvellous progress in some directions has without doubt been made during the last fifty years, owing to the rapid development of the physical sciences ; but a lofty and symmetrical civilization will not be realized until all the other sciences are exalted to their true place in the general system.

The chief need of our time in all departments of thought is not so much more facts as a more rational treatment of the facts already at hand. Nearly all the sciences are now undergoing a radical reconstruction; but "The New Astronomy," "The New Chemistry," "The New Political Economy," "The New Psychology," and "The New Theology" are not so much the products of new facts as of a more thoroughgoing and scientific way of looking at the old ones.
