As all these results were obtained, not by any heroic method, but by patient and
detailed reasoning, I began to think it probable that philosophy had erred in
adopting heroic remedies for intellectual difficulties, and that solutions were
to be found merely by greater care and accuracy. This view I have come to hold
more and more strongly as time went on, and it has led me to doubt whether
philosophy, as a study distinct from science and possessed of a method of its
own, is anything more than an unfortunate legacy from theology.
