On Rhythm Science Classic Reprint

Excerpt from On Rhythm Science The Rhythm science shows an originality in its mode of elucidation, too. Hitherto all philosophy, after the manner of science, has collected various kinds of experience inductively, and deduced therefrom a princi ple to elucidate things by. But this new philosophy, quite contrary to that, first establishes an all-ex plaining principle, and boldly proceeds in deductive. Manner. This way of philosophizing is quite new now-a-days. But, let us ask, which way is the right one Induction is based upon well-known experiental facts, so it has the advantage of being easily believed in by the people. Not only this, but, in arriving at a general law, even if it meets with some uncongenial matters, it can patch up better. On the other hand, deductive method is rather stiff, and, in meeting with such dangers, cannot well dispose of them. More over, it finds some difficulty in convincing people by joining itself to experiental facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
