Abstract
FOR centuries past, science and philosophy, in spite of their common origin in the evolution of human thought, in spite, also, of the continuous (and inevitable) influence of each upon the other, have slowly but steadily drifted apart, both as regards their method and supposed subject-matter and as regards the avowed aims and general attitude of mind of their respective exponents. During the past twenty years, however, there has been a marked reversal of this tendency; and it is fitting that Prof. Wildon Carr should be one of the first to publish a systematic explanation of the causes and significance of the new movement, for he has done as much as any man to foster and encourage it.
