Abstract
THERE is a periodic urge to reinterpret in terms of philosophy the current view of the mechanism of the universe. This need declares itself to-day in regard to problems raised by recent investigations and conceptions in many departments. It leads also to a fresh examination of older interpretations of the scientific point of view.
