he directly associate his Mother Light

To those outside the pale the book seems
to be a somewhat hysterical and highly

Mr. Royce points out that any permanently
and positively useful generalization In the
field Of philosophical speculation must be
such as to define for US not merely some
thing abstract enough to be true, whatever
happens, but a more or less complete and
exact series OF ideal oasss, to which the
formula can be applied deductively. The
law Of gravitation, the theory Of energy
are not formulas such as: IAN bodies tend
to approach one another OF Everything
changss.' But they are formulas that can
DO applied deducively 70 predict in detail
tho characters Of any one Of an infinite
series Of ideal cases, such az planets moving
about suns, masses Of gas cooling, &C.
Nobody, indeed, expects, as yet. any
mathematical formula for evolution. just
because, however, every oase OF evolution

msnt for the situation is not that the philoso-
pher shall tell us-what IA true enough
that evolution involves both shrinking
and swellings, both mixings and sortinRs.
both variety and order, but that he should
show us how these various tendencies are
in the various types Of evolutionary process
kept In that peculiar balance and unity
which each time constitutes an evolution.
This IL what Spencer seems not TO have
done. Nobody disputes that Spencer was
right in deeming a mechanical theory Of the
types Of evolutionary processes needed

In the phenomenal world must be reduced
