Excerpt from Cosmos a Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 3
IN accordance with the Object I have proposed to myself, and which, as far as my own powers and the present state I of science permit, I have regarded as not unattainable, I have, in the preceding volumes of Cosmos. Considered Nature in a twofold point of view. In the first place, I have endeavoured to present her in the pure objectiveness of external phenomena; and, secondly, as the reflection of the image impressed by the senses upon the inner man, that is, upon his ideas and feelings.
