Excerpt from Psychic Phenomena, Science and Immortality: Being a Further Excursion Into Unseen Realms Beyond the Point Previously Explored in Modern Light on Immortality, and a Sequel to That Previous Record My critic seems to forget that there are several schools of philosophy, and that they do not all agree upon the nature of the origin and utility Of intui tive knowledge. Philosophy speculates as to causes and origins, whereas science discovers and classi fies facts. Philosophy is the handmaid Of science when she keeps close to the side of science and regards her data with exclusive jealousy. We may admit that science depends for discovery on intui tion, but whether this is a superior talent which reveals the mysterious truths of nature, as a priori certitudes, or as products Of unconscious de duction, will ever remain the battle ground between the positivists and the idealists.
