Charles Bray Philosophy of Necessity

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Philosophy of Necessity is the reason why of Necessity. Necessity implies Law or a constant and invariable order Of events in the physical and also in the moral world. Reason is exercised in the knowledge and calculation of this fixed order, and if in any department of Nature this order did not reign, in that depart ment there could be no exercise Of reason. This is the reason why of Necessity. Man, the servant and interpreter of Nature, can only understand and act in proportion as he Observes or contemplates the order of Nature; more he can neither know nor do.
