Abstract

(1) ENERGY is the real thing, not matter. The keynote of philosophy is change. Sensation is not sensation of thing changing and of change; it is simple consciousness of change. Change implies power. All science is an interpretation of appearance in terms of power, which is the fundamental postulate. And our notion of power arises from our awareness of our own motor activity, which awareness is one of the first data of experience. Causation is a derivative postulate arising from this same awareness of self-activity; if we were passive photographic plates, we could have no conception of causality. We attribute potent efficacy to the things of sense which resist us, on the analogy of our own activity.
