Sinopsis

Excerpt from Science, Vol. 17: A Weekly Journal Devoted to the Advancement of Science, Publishing the Official Notices and Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; January-June, 1903

Above all I believe it to be in general a perverting thing to use the elements and results of science as a basis of metaphysical speculation. 'i believe,' with Ruskin, 'that Metaphysicians and Philosophers are, on the whole, the greatest troubles the world has got to deal with; and that, while a tyrant or bad man is of some use in teaching people submission or indignation, and a thoroughly idle man is only harmful in setting an idle example, and communi cating to other lazy people his own ~lazy misunderstandings, busy metaphysicians are always entangling good and active people and weaving cobwebs among the finest wheels of the world's business; and are as much as possible by all prudent persons to be brushed aside like spiders.'
