Description
Excerpt from Our Knowledge of the External World as a Field for Scientific Method in Philosophy
Since my purpose was to illustrate method, I have included much that is tentative and incomplete, for it is not by the study of finished structures alone that the manner of construction can'' be learnt. Except in regard to such matters as Cantor''s theory of infinity, no finality is claimed for the theories suggested but I believe that where they are found to require modification, this will be discovered by substantially the same method as that which at present makes them appear probable, and it is on this ground that I ask the reader to be tolerant of their incompleteness.
