Excerpt from The Reign of Causality: A Vindication of the Scientific Principle of Telic Causal Efficiency The object of the discussions embraced in this volume is indicated in the title. The chief aim of the whole work is to vindicate the claims of the Scientific Principle of Telic Causality. Persuaded that the very unhappy attitude of antagonism to theology maintained by a certain class of scientists, has arisen from scientific speculations conducted in violation of this principle, the author has endeavoured, in the interests of both science and theology, to draw attention to the gravity of this error, and to make it clear that the existing antagonism is as unscientific as it is gratuitous. The ground taken is, that the Principle of Causality, revealed as a primary belief in consciousness, fairly carried out and applied in scientific investigations, leads up to an Ultimate Cause - a Causa causarum - possessed of all the attributes which enter into our conception of personality.
