Excerpt from The Last Word: Being an Announcement of the Ultimate Generalization of Science and a Solution of Popular Problems in Religion and Philosophy Is Man ready to pronounce that last word in Science which shall make his Chaos a true Universe? Yes! The individual most astonished by the mighty mediaeval Reformation was Martin Luther. He nailed his thesis to the church-door and went to bed a lonely free-thinker. He awoke an international leader of authority. Already for long the people had been thinking and dying at the stake for their inarticulate Idea. And thus always, in the past, the prescient populace, wanting only Voice, has hung helplessly upon the slow lips of the Philosopher, the Priest, the Poet, the Politician and the Pedagogue. To-day, in our Wilderness of dying churches, cor rupt administrations, depraved arts and futile schools the people are turning from their hereditary Shepherds. But not helplessly. Now, for the first time in history, the humble Man of Business is find ing his own tongue. And his forthcoming word is the final Wisdom of Science and universal Gospel. It is the program of the following sections to briefly enunciate, in language as little technical as possible, the ultimate Generalization of universal Science, and to indicate its practical application in the solution of metaphysical, theological, political, ethical, esthetical and educational problems. The last word in Science is that ultimate and universal Truth which includes and concludes all other truths. Each of the minor sciences observes, assembles, relates and classifies a particular kind of reality. Universal Science, or what 1s rightly called Philosophy, in turn observes, assembles and relates these minor classifications of temporary and limited particularity in a major Classification of eternal and infinite generality.
