Excerpt from The Alchemy of Thought The following essays deal with the belief that logical system is only one among countless forms in the self expression of the universe. I have endeavoured to do justice to the claims of system; at the same time I have resisted these claims in so far as they threaten to usurp the whole field of human experience.

What does form a Rational Whole and is adequately described by this term is the movement of thought throughout the ages - in a word, the History of Philo sophy. To equate this movement with the universe to which it refers, to make the History of Philosophy into a History of Reality, appears to me an error.
