Abstract
THE modern developments of the study of natural science have led to the separate and too exclusive consideration of branches of knowledge. This result necessarily follows from the defects inherent in our methods of investigation; but everyone will admit the importance and advantage of contemplating Nature as a whole, instead of attending to a fragment of her works. Hence she must be contemplated philosophically; for it is the business of philosophy alone to work out the greater problems which are common to, and underlie, the great problems of the sciences.
Nature contemplated Philosophically.—Die Natur im Lichte philosophischer Anschauung.
