Excerpt from The Princeton Review, Vol. 55: July-December, 1879 The reader who is at all familiar with the special signification in which the term science is persistently used by men of Professor Huxley's way of thinking, as synonymous with physics, will perhaps be surprised that he should find any meaning or place left for philosophy either in his thinking or his terminology. That he attempts to find both is made to appear as he proceeds. Indeed, this biography derives its chief importance from the circumstance that it is an elaborate attempt on the part of an ultra-physiological materialist to recognize, after a fashion of his own, the significance of the problems which have been proposed by metaphysicians proper, and to solve them in such a way as to reconcile Hume with Kant, Locke with Descartes, upon the irenical basis furnished by the metaphysics of associationalism and the psychology of cerebralism!
