"At the opening of the twentieth century I conceive it to be the supreme need of the human spirit to understand that the mechanical philosophy of mere evolution--the evolution without involution, which is the half truth more dangerous than a lie--is but a step towards the organic philosophy of evolution through involution, as itself but a step towards the spiritual philosophy of the identity in difference of evolution and involution as the continuity of Being in the Absolute Ethical I. This is the philosophy whose foundation is the absolute nature of the syllogism as necessary relational equation of the involved and the evolved in the world-process--that universal and eternal self realization of Being through Knowing in Doing which determines the immanent and necessary relational constitution of the world itself to be that of the Absolute Ethical I. It is the grounding of this philosophy in the absolute nature of the syllogistic process, as at once the Apriori of Being, the Apriori of Truth, and the Apriori of Eight, and as itself the identity in difference of evolution and involution, which renders it a system of philosophical objectivism or scientific realism, in distinction from all systems of philosophical subjectivism, whether as subjective, critical, or absolute idealism, and which not only justifies but requires its name as the Syllogistic Philosophy"--
