Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of a Philosophy, Vol. 1: Mind, Its Powers and Capacities, and Its Relation to Matter The tendency of Modern Science is to assume a merely mechanical dynamism as the sum total of existence, The doctrine of the Conservation of Energy when applied to this extent is quite overstretched. That doctrine was established by Leibnitz, and is an integral part of his philosophy, which is eminently theistical, The Sensational Method of research, now so popular, instead of a Rational Method, is leading only to a spelling out of Spinozism backwards.
