The Book explains the connection between physics and the endeavor to attain a general philosophy of the world: and it may well be asked wherein this interconnectivity lies. Physics, it may be argued, is solely concerned with the objects and events of inanimate nature, while a general philosophy, if it is to be at all satisfactory, must embrace the whole of physical and intellectual life and must deal with questions of the soul, including the highest problems of ethics. At first this objection may seem convincing. Yet it will not bear closer investigation. In the first place inanimate nature is, after all, part of the world so that any philosophy of the world claiming to be truly comprehensive must take notice of the laws of inanimate nature; and in the long run such a philosophy becomes untenable if it conflicts with inanimate nature. It will be the chief purpose of the current book to demonstrate the influence in greater detail with regard to Physics.
