Excerpt from The Re-Organisation of Philosophy: An Address, Delivered Before the Aristotelian Society, November 8, 1886 (Being the Annual Presidential Address for the Eighth Session of the Society)
I propose to speak this evening of that Re-organisation of Philosophy which may be expected to result from the application of the method described in previous Addresses to that great purpose of Philosophy, a Rationale of the Universe so far as attainable by human powers, which was shown in my first Address to be indicated by the history of philosophy as its true end. You may remember that this method was shown, in my last Address, to lead to the distribution of the whole subject-matter of philosophy under four great heads or rubrics, A, Distinction of Aspects; B, Analysis of Elements; C, The Order of Real Conditioning; and D, The Constructive Branch of Philosophy. Yet I am not going now, any more than then, to bring forward any particular Rationale or what is called a System of Philosophy, meaning thereby a Theory of the Universe. It is of a system, a rationale, a theory of philosophy itself, and of its constitution as philosophy, that I have here, as previously, to speak.
