Excerpt from Where Science and Religion Meet

We are still, as in Plato's age, groping about for a new method more comprehensive than any of those that now prevail; and also more permanent. And we seem to see at a distance the promise of such a method, which can hardly be any other than the method of idealized experience, having roots which strike far down into the history of philosophy. It is a method which does not divorce the present from the past, or the part from the whole, or the ab stract from the concrete, or theory from 'fact, or the divine from the human, or one science from another, but labours to connect them. Along such a road we, have proceeded a few steps, sufficient, perhaps, to make us reflect on the want of method which prevails in our own day. In another age, all the branches of knowledge, whether relating to God or man or nature, will become theknowledge of the revelation of a single science, and all things, like the stars in heaven, will shed their light upon one another.'
