Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Matter: A Criticism of Professor Haeckel's Riddle of the Universe
Our metaphysics is really like many other sciences - only on the threshold of genuine knowledge: God knows if it will ever get further. It is not hard to see its weakness in much that it undertakes. Prejudice is often found to be the mainstay of its proofs. For this nothing is to blame but the ruling passion of those who would fain extend human knowledge They are anxious to have a grand philosophy: but the desirable thing is, that it should also be a sound one. Kant.
