Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Review, 1882, Vol. 3 If, then, knowledge is the cognition of actual objects, it is clear that the dignity and worth of any science depends upon the dignity and worth of the particular object which it endeavors to comprehend. The science of meteors is not so important as the science of man. Whether physics is higher in the scale than metaphysics must be determined by the nature and properties of the subject-matter of each. For, assuming that there are substances of two kinds that present themselves to the human intellect for investigation and cog. Nition, namely, matter and mind, it is evident that the sciences which severally rest upon them will be marked by peculiarities derived from each separately. Knowledge that has physical substance and its properties for its foundation, will differ from knowledge that has Spiritual substance and its properties for its basis.
