The traditional disputes of philosophers are, for the most part, as unwarranted as they are unfruitful. The surest way to end them is to establish beyond question what should be the purpose and method of a philosophical enquiry.

For if there are any questions which science leaves it to philosophy to answer, a straightforward process of elimination must lead to their discovery.
