THE MONIST 



The Monist is a Quarterly Magazine, devoted to the Philosophy of Science. 

 Each copy contains 160 pages ; original articles, correspondence from foreign 

 countries, discussions, and book reviews. 



The Monist Advocates the 

 Philosophy of Science & 



which is an application of the scientific method to philosophy.' 



The old philosophical systems were mere air-castles (constructions of abstract 

 theories,) built in the realm of pure thought. The Philosophy of Science is a 

 systematisation of positive facts ; it takes experience as its foundation, and uses 

 the systematised formal relations of experience (mathematics, logic, etc.) as its 

 method. It is opposed on the one hand to the dogmatism of groundless a priori 

 assumptions, and on the other hand to the scepticism of negation which finds 

 expression in the agnostic tendencies of to-day. 



Monism Means a Unitary "World-Conception 



There may be different aspects and even contrasts, diverse views and oppo- 

 site standpoints, but there can never be contradiction in truth. 



Monism is not a one-substance theory, be it materialistic or spiritualistic or 

 agnostic ; it means simply and solely consistency. 



All truths form one consistent system, and any dualism of irreconcilable 

 statements indicates that there is a problem to be solved ; there must be fault 

 somewhere either in our reasoning or in our knowledge of facts. Science always 

 implies Monism, i. e., a unitary world conception.
