Excerpt from The New Metaphysics: Or the Law of End, Cause, and Effect, With Other Essays What lies beyond this physical, visible, and tangible world of nature? If anything, then its realm is the subject of metaphysics, the laws that govern it, the relations it sustains to the world of tangible things, - these we shall hold to be the proper subjects of metaphysical investigation. Understood in this sense metaphysics is a thing quite distinct from those vague creations of the mind which have for so long a time borne this name, and brought it into discredit with practical thinkers. To be metaphysical has only too often been held to mean the same as to be obscure, in the clouds, speculative, not practical.
