Excerpt from The Philosophy of Reflection, Vol. 1 of 3
The purpose of these volumes is, first, to lay down the outlines, principles, and method of a system of Metaphysic, basing it upon known facts of consciousness; next, to show that this system necessitates the conception of a Constructive Branch of philosophy, dealing with phenomena which are but very partially accessible to us; and lastly, to combine these two branches (the latter given in the merest outline) into a single System of Philosophy.
As the present work completes for me a certain cycle of thought, I may, perhaps, be permitted to prefix some remarks on the scope and sources of my philosophy, which I abstained from doing when I published its predecessors, "Time and Space" (1865), and "The Theory of Practice" (1870). It seemed best to let those works speak for themselves. But now, as I gather up their results into a more systematic shape, a word or two of introduction may not be out of place.
