Description: "No other contemporary philosopher has stressed more than Errol E. Harris the erroneous consequences of the twentieth-century scientific revolution for philosophy, nor have the bankruptcy and barrenness of current attacks on metaphysics been so cogently and effectively revealed.

In The Restitution of Metaphysics Harris examines the errors of empiricism, showing that the predominantly holistic character of contemporary science has been largely overlooked by current schools of philosophy, which have spawned the skepticism and relativism of the postmodern outlook. He then develops the basis in physics for the restoration of metaphysics with its main features being holism, dialectical progression, anthropomorphism, and theism."--BOOK JACKET.
