Reid, George Winston. Conscience. $1. W. F. Brainard, N. Y.
“Heat is the common bond of the separate sciences, and binds them into one science. Since the Latin ‘cum’ or ‘con’ signifies ‘together,’ the sciences united or the philosophy of the sciences may be called ‘Conscience.’” So thru the following chapter the author evolves his conception of conscience, Matter, or the science of chemistry, Energy, or the science of physics, The heavenly bodies or the science of astronomy, Life, or the science of biology, Consciousness, or the science of psychology, and Conscience, or scientific philosophy.
“The volume is a queer jumble of natural physics, metaphysics, epistemology and religion, in which the method is that of piecing together brief quotations from the greatest variety of diverse sources.”
