ABSTRACT
Based upon the position established by our philosophy and scientific tradition as integrated into a coherent metaphysical system, we maintain that many important similarities are found between our position and that of modern, contemporary philosophy and science with regard to the sources and methods of knowledge; the unity of the rational and empirical ways of knowing; the combination of realism, idealism and pragmatism as the cognitive foundation of aphilosophy of science; the philosophy and science of process'31.
