Description

In this book it is argued that there are obviously no theoretical conceptions of the world which are free of metaphysical elements. This is not only valid in connection with matter but also for the conceptions of space and time. The consequences in connection with modern conceptions of the world are outlined.

First Sentence

Before scientific methods were known, it was usual to explain phenomena in nature by means of mythological beings: A vast number of gods, goddesses, demigods, demons, capricious fairies, and so on governed arbitrarily; they were responsible for all phenomena in the forest and field.
