Essays in Scientific Synthesis Eugenio Rignano

The essays composing this volume have abready appeared in various periodicals, such as Scientia, La Revue Philosophique, La Revue du Mots, the Monist, and also (before the war) in the A rchiv fur die gesatnmte Psychologie and the Annalen der Naturphilosophie. They were revised and published in a French edition in 1912 (F61ix A lcan, Paris). Although each of these essays is a study complete in itself, they are connected by one and the same synthetic spirit, and are animated by one and the same object: that of demonstrating the utility in the biological, psychological, and sociological fields of the theorist, who, without having specialized in any particular branch or subdivision of science, may nevertheless bring into those spheres that synthetic and unif3dng vision which is brought by the theorist-mathematician, with so much success, into the physico-chemical field of science. It is often said and often repeated that the English are not attracted by broad generalizations, which are too far above reality, and that they cannot, or do not care to, leave the safe ground of facts.
