ABSTRACT

The inadequacy of the Newtonian system of astronomy is its autogenous exclusion of data requisite to a principle which presupposes a basis of universal applicability. Assuming an unqualified absolute to reside within the limits of its own circumscribed area, it posits a principle which fails to take account of factors operating within the larger constellation wherein its own system is but a contributory element. Consciousness is the individual's acquiescence in sequences that are determined by the necessities of organic law. Unconsciousness is the individual's resistance to these organic processes. As consciousness is anterior to its own realisation, so unconsciousness ever follows in the wake of its own event. It is worthy of note that between the objective or mathematical theory of relativity of Einstein and the subjective or organismic theory of relativity envisaged, there is to be traced, however inconclusively, a philosophical parallelism that is significant.
