The Heavens Declare The Glory Of Kepler

The Universe Displays No Proof Of An All-directing Mind.

In The Final, The Positive, State, The Mind Has Given Over The Vain Search After Absolute Notions, The Origin And Destination Of The Universe, And The Causes Of Phenomena, And Applies Itself To The Study Of Their Laws - That Is, Their Invariable Relations Of Succession And Resemblance. Reasoning And Observation, Duly Combined, Are The Means Of This Knowledge. What Is Now Understood When We Speak Of An Explanation Of Facts Is Simply The Establishment Of A Connection Between Single Phenomena And Some General Facts.

The Word Right Should Be Excluded From Political Language, As The Word Cause From The Language Of Philosophy.

Mathematical Analysis Is... The True Rational Basis Of The Whole System Of Our Positive Knowledge.

Each Department Of Knowledge Passes Through Three Stages. The Theoretic Stage; The Theological Stage And The Metaphysical Or Abstract Stage.
