Monism 1 3 



There are things which cannot yet be 

 fitted in as part of a coherent scheme of 

 scientific knowledge at present they appear 

 like fragments of another order of things ; 

 and if they are to be forced into the scientific 

 framework, like portions of a "puzzle- 

 map," before their true place has been dis- 

 covered, a quantity of substantial fact must 

 be disarranged, dislocated, and thrown away. 

 A premature and cheap Monism is therefore 

 worse than none at all.
