“Astronomy is the science which treats of the sun, the moon, the stars, and
other objects such as comets which are seen in the sky. It deals to some
extent also with the earth, but only in so far as it has properties in common
with the heavenly bodies.”
The growth of intelligence in the human race has its counterpart in that of
the individual, especially in the earliest stages. Intellectual activity and
the development of reasoning powers are in both cases based upon the
accumulation of experiences, and on the comparison, classification,
arrangement, and nomenclature of these experiences. During the infancy of each
the succession of events can be watched, but there can be no à priori
anticipations. Experience alone, in both cases, leads to the idea of cause and
effect as a principle that seems to dominate our present universe, as a rule
for predicting the course of events, and as a guide to the choice of a course
of action. This idea of cause and effect is the most potent factor in
developing the history of the human race, as of the individual.
