Metaphysics is a science.

Summary

This quote asserts that metaphysics, the branch of philosophy concerned with investigating the fundamental nature of reality, is a science.

If only they would talk to one another and not to me.

In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.
