Why Rationalism ?
Why Diamat is Unscientific
Our hot defence of out ideas and beliefs does not
Life and Soul
indicate an established confidence in them but often half
distrust, which we try to hide from ourselves, just as one
who suffers from bashfulness offsets his sense of inferior-
ity and awkwadness by rude aggression

The great intellectual divison of mankind is not among
geographical or racial lines, but between those who under-
stand and practice the experimental method and those who
do not understand and do not practice it.
- Dr. George Sarton.

We must not only state the truth, but also the cause of
error.

The truth is that we are far more likely to underrate the
originality of the Greeks than to exaggerate it, and we do not
always remember the very short time they took to lay down
lines scientific inquiry has followed ever since

Ideas
concepts
Conceptions and relations are creations of thought, but
what can tell how concepts and relations must be combined if
a picture of the world is to result? Not inner contemplation, but
only the questioning of nature with observation and experiment,
for the judgement of nature alone can utter the final 'yes' or 'no'

hypothesis
The great stage where the Universe acts out its play is
one on which the twin roles of coincidence and chance have
scarcely any entry. From the vast expanding system of galax-
ies down to the humblest planet, and to the creatures that may
live on it, there seems to be a strongly forged chain of cause
and effect. Accidents there must be sometimes, but they mat-
ter not a jot to the march of larger events.

The concept of causalityis not an axiomatic law rep-
resenting the operation of the mysterious agency called force,
which must be accepted ultimately as an elementary undefin-
able. It is a physical relation inherent in the constitution of the
universe..... A causal process is the internal change of an ob-
ject from one state to another ..... (It) is identical with the tem-
poral function of matter. Being realises itself in becoming.
Hence, causality is a fundamental feature of everything that
really exists. Nature is a causal system, because it is a pro-
cess of becoming (Ibid)

truths
"The history of science may be full of beautiful theories
slain by ugly little facts, but those theories did not die in vain, if
before their death they had subdued a vast number of jarring
facts into a law-abiding populace. Nor do theories do gener-
ally die a final death; often they are resurrected with some new
feaure which gets over the old difficulty which caused their tem-
porary retirement"

The teachings of ancients were so general and vague
that one can easily fit any meaning into them. Let us, there-
fore, not exaggerate the knowledge of the ancient natural phi-
losophers.
St. Augustine claimed that he had a clear idea of what
time was until he was asked to explain what it was, and ceased
to understand it at all as soon as he began to explain it.

Subjectivity
Both space and time are terms for characteristics of
the constitution of physical reality which is alone substantia-
tive. ... Time is in the universe and not the universe in time. It is
local and distributed like causality with which it is inseperably
connected. It follows that the unity of the universe is better ex-
hibited by space than by time... Time becomes adjectival in
the sense that it presupposes being, or substance, as eternal
in the sense that it is that which changes and, therefore, that to
which all temporal events must be referred. It has primary en-
durance... The universe is a system in eternal process. Yet it
would always be unbounded in a dynamic sense because there
would be nothing outside it to bound it. It would set its own
boundaries... Space is purely adjectival and intrinsic to the
universe. Beyond the universe there is nothing, not even space,
-Roywood Sellars.
