It is because of injection of an irrelevant philosophy into interpretation of the conclusions of science that the latter are thought to eliminate qualities and values from nature. Thus is created the standing problem of modern philosophy: the relation of science to the things we prize and love and which have authority in the direc- tion of conduct. The same injection, in treating the results of mathematical-mechanistic science as adefinition of natural real- ity in its own intrinsic nature, accounts for the antagonism shown to naturalism, and for the feeling that it is the busi- ness of philosophy to demonstrate the being of arealm beyond nature, one not subject to the conditions which mark all natural objects. Drop the conception that knowledge is knowledge only when it is adisclosure and definition of the properties of fixed and antecedent reality jinterpret the aim and test of knowing by what happens in the actual procedures of scientific inquiry, and the supposed need and problem vanish
