Abstract
(1) PROF. MORE has written a study from a conservative point of view of the limitations of science as shown in modern physical views. “Will the results of experiment made objectively which must, however, be interpreted subjectively, fail in their turn as criteria of truth?” (p. 2). “Science,... like philosophy, has no ontological value. Should not the men of science clearly recognise this fact, and confine their effort to the legitimate function of science— the discovery of natural phenomena and their classification into general laws by logical mathematical processes?” (p. 31).
