The ordinary philosophy has been speculating for centuries on Causation, the existence of a God, the existence of an Ego, the existence of an external world. It has viewed these subjects from a single point of view, namely, the present existence of the objects involved. The cosmical philosophy examines these subjects from another point of view, namely, law. To be sure, an Ego exists now, but may not this...

It is scarcely to be expected that a student should devote fifteen hours to writing and rewriting a theme, when twelve hours' less application would make a difference...
