Abstract

IT MIGHT WELL seem that any topic of lesser import than "Being" or "Reality" would be inappropriate to mark the Silver Jubilee of our Society. But even apart from my own timidity in the face of themes that strain our powers of abstraction to their very limits, I have another more specific reason to speak of science. For it is in regard to science, I think, that the most profound philosophical shift has occurred—in the English-speaking world, at least—in the twenty-five years since the Metaphysical Society of America was founded. The change is one, moreover, that must have a particular significance for our Society.
