FOUNDATIONALISM IN PHILOSOPHY n his autobiographical work, The
Education of Henry Adams, this I brooding and disillusioned
offspring of American presidents confronted, at age sixty, his own
perplexity concerning the new scientific world-view that was
emerging at the end of the century. He noted that the unity of
things, long guaranteed morally by the teachings of Christianity
and scientifically by the Newtonian world-view, was being
challenged by a newer vision of things that found only
incomprehensible multiplicity at the root of the world: What
happened if one dropped the sounder into the ab yss-let it
go-frankly gave up Unity altogether? What was Unity? Why was one to
be forced to affirm it? Here every body flatly refused help. . . .
Adams] got out his Descartes again; dipped into his Hume and
Berkeley; wrestled anew with his Kant; pondered solemnly over his
Hegel and Scho penhauer and Hartmann; strayed gaily away with his
Greeks-all merely to ask what Unity meant, and what happened when
one denied it. Apparently one never denied it. Every philosopher,
whether sane or insane, naturally af firmed it. I Adams, then
approaching with heavy pessimism a new century, felt instinc tively
that, were one to attack the notion of unity, the entire edifice of
human knowledge would quickly collapse. For understanding requires
the unification of apparently different phenomena."
