Excerpt from Helps to a Correct Understanding of Nature on the Basis of Realism

Another man admits that causes are, but asserts that they are to us unknowable. If we say to either of these men: You have changes without causes, be well answers: We know nothing about causes, or their sup posed relation to phenomena. As that supposed relation is unknowable, we do not consider ourselves bound to observe your view of it, and you do not know whether we have violated it or not. Such a man does not deem it necessary to pay any heed to the law of cause and effect. He can construct his theories without any reference to it. To say that his theory violates the law of cause and effect, is to him no proof that his theory is false or incorrect.
