Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Necessity: Or Law in Mind as in Matter
The Philosophy of Necessity is the reason why of Necessity. Necessity implies Law or a constant and invariable order Of events in the physical and also in the moral world. Reason is exercised in the knowledge and calculation of this fixed order, and if in any department of Nature this order did not reign, in that depart ment there could be no exercise Of reason. This is the reason why of Necessity.
Man, the servant and interpreter of Nature, can only understand and act in proportion as he Observes or contemplates the order of Nature; more he can neither know nor do.
