192 THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENCE 



LITERATURE 



Hume, David. — A Treatise on Human Nature (1739), book i. part ii. Of 

 the Ideas of Space and Time. Green and Grose : Works of Hume, vol. 

 i. pp. 334-371- 

 Kant, Immanuel. — Kritik der reinen Vernunft (1781). Elementarlehre, 

 i. Theil. Sammtliche Werke, Ausgabe v. Hartenstein, Bd. iii. S. 

 58-80. 



A good account of Kant's views will be found in Kuno Fischer's Geschichte 

 der Philosophie, Bd. iii. S. 312-349. A brief description is given on pp. 

 21S-20 of Schwegler's Handbook of the History of Philosophy, translated by 

 J. H. Stirling, Edinburgh, 1879. 



None of the geometrical or physical text-book writers have hitherto ven- 

 tured to discuss how the conceptual space and time which are at the basis of 

 their investigations are related to perceptual experience. The reader will, 

 however, find much that is valuable in Clifford's Philosophy of the Pure 

 Sciences (1873), Lectures and Essays, vol. i. pp. 254-340, and in his "Of 

 Boundaries in General," Seeing and Thinking (1880), pp. 127-156. 



A criticism of Hume's views will be found on pp. 230-254 of Green's 

 "General Introduction" to Hume's Works, vol. i., while Kant's doctrines 

 have been attacked by both Trendelenburg and Ueberweg. References are 

 given in vol. ii. pp. 158, 330, and 525 of the latter writer's History of 

 Pliilosophy, London, 1874. 



A good deal that is suggestive with regard not only to space and time, but 

 position and motion, may still with caution be extracted from the Physics of 

 Aristotle. See especially E. Zeller, Die Philosophie der Griechen, ii. Theil, 

 2. Abth. S. 384-408, and Ueberweg, loc. cit. vol. i. pp. 163-6. The reader 

 must not be discouraged by the unwarranted contempt expressed for Aristotle's 

 ideas of space and motion in George Henry Lewes's Aristotle : a Chapter 

 from the History of Science, London, 1864 (p. 128 et sec].).
