Abstract
THERE is now a great deal of coming and going between natural science and metaphysics. On the mathematical-physical side there is a succession of writers from Whitehead and Russell to Jeans, Eddhigton and Dingle, while professional philosophers such as the late Prof. Susan Stebbing have studied the new atomic and cosmic physics in order to find whether they have any metaphysical repercussions. The volumes under review, which are published by the French-Canadian University of Ottawa, witness to the interest that is now taken in these problems all over the world.
