Abstract
I THOUGHT Mr. Dunne's demonstration that time as it is used in physics, is a mathematical device which is justified because, and to the extent that, it is adapted to the interpretation of experience, one of the most valuable parts of his book. It seems to me inadmissible to deduce qualities of experience from the character of a device voluntarily adopted to interpret it. Experience is not at the command of the arbitrary machinery of logic.
