Textausschnitt: These laws can now be identified as the conjugate forms that relate chemical atoms to one another. Their verification, although probable and provisional, refers to conjugate acts, while the sensible situations and instances in which the laws have been tested refer to conjugate potencies. The metaphysician knows, first, that those chemical laws are intrinsic to the very structure of chemical atoms; second, that there are different types of conjugate forms - classical and statistical; and, third ...

() It is not the business of chemists to know knowing, nor to know why knowing is what it is, nor what you know when you know objectively. That is the business of metaphysicians.
