Excerpt from Force and Matter: Empirico-Philosophical Studies, Intelligibly Rendered; With an Additional Introduction Expressly Written for This Edition
Proceeding from the fixed relation between matter and force as an indestructible basis, empi rical philosophy must arrive at results which dis card every kind of supranaturalism and idealism in the explanation of natural events, considering the latter as perfectly independent of any ex ternal power. The final victory of this kind of philosophical cognition cannot be doubted. The strength of its proofs lies in facts, not in unintel ligible and empty phrases. There is, in the end, no fighting against facts; it is like kicking against the pricks.
