A Magazine of Science and Pholosophy ¹

Abstract

“ANOTHER new magazine!” But the editor, in anticipating this exclamation, suggests that it is no more reasonable than would be “Another new flower in the fields !” or “Another new tree in tie wood !” Still, one is not obliged to pluck the flower or to cut down the tree; but a new magazine makes a certain claim on the attention of the public, especially as it is addressed to the scientific public as well as to philosophers in the stricter sense of the word. Indeed, it is an attempt to induce men of science to interest themselves more in philosophy and students of philosophy to pay more attention to modern science. It is not intended to serve as a means of popularising either of these regions of thought, and the editor promises to exclude all purely speculative matter for which an experimental basis is wanting.
