This book is written by a philosopher for other philosophers and
for that section of the reading public who buy in large quantities
and, no doubt, devour with great earnestness the popular books
written by scientists for their enlightenment. We common readers,
to adapt a phrase from Samuel Johnson, are fitted neither to
criticize physical theories not to decide what precisely are their
implications. We are dependent upon the scientists for an
exposition of those developments which - so we find them
proclaiming - have important and far-reaching consequences for
philosophy. Unfortunately, however, our popular expositors do not
always serve us very well. The two who are most widely read in this
country are Sir Arthur Eddington and Sir James Jeans. They are not
always reliable guides. Their influence has been considerable upon
the reading public, upon theologians, and upon preachers; they have
even misled philosopher who should have known better. Accordingly,
it has seemed to me to be worth while to examine in some detail the
philosophical views that they have put forth and to criticize the
grounds upon which these views are based.
