Abstract
A FRIEND of Dr. v. Schoeler's died a victim to his devotion to science, when too late he had reached the conviction that his jealous mistress was not worth the sacrifice he had made for her. What, then, asked v. Schoeler, are the data, what the results of science and philosophy? How shall we free ourselves from their obsession, and make them servants rather than tyrants? Is ethical nihilism the upshot and a pessimism subversive of human endeavour in all directions other than the intellectual? Has Nietzsche, after all, the right of it?
Kritik der Wissenschaftlichen Erkenntniss.
