Quotes

• “In my view all salvation for philosophy may be expected to come from Darwin's theory.”
• “I propose to answer two questions:—(1) Is the Theory of Gases a true physical theory as valuable as any other physical theory?(2) What can we demand from any physical theory?”
• “The first question I answer in the affirmative, but the second belongs not so much to ordinary physics (let us call it orthophysics) as to... metaphysics.”
• “For a long time the celebrated theory of Boscovich was the ideal of physicists. According to his theory, bodies as well as the ether are aggregates of material points, acting together with forces, which are simple functions of their distances.”
• “If this theory were to hold good for all phenomena, we should be still a long way off what Faust's famous famulus [Wagner] hoped to attain, viz., to know everything. But the difficulty of enumerating all the material points of the universe, and of determining the law of mutual force for each pair, would be only a quantitative one; nature would be a difficult problem, but not a mystery for the human mind.”
• “Every hypothesis must derive indubitable results from mechanically well-defined assumptions by mathematically correct methods. If the results agree with a large series of facts, we must be content, even if the true nature of facts is not revealed in every respect. No one hypothesis has hitherto attained this last end, the Theory of Gases not excepted.”
