We have already seen that
We have already seen that in at least one sphere of intellectual activity we are able to start from the most basic and fundamental conceptions, from axiomatic truths so patent and universal that they cannot even be conceived of as being otherwise than as they are, and to proceed from them, by equally irresistible Inferences, to conclusions which are, from the nature of the human mind, inevitable. It is in the Mathematics, in which the Deductive Method is rightly operative, that this kind of Proof-Demonstration in the strict sense of the term-prevails. The various branches of Mathematics have therefore been appropriately denominated the _Exact_ Sciences, in contradistinction from those domains of Thought whose Laws or Principles are liable to be somewhat indefinite or uncertain; hence, called the _Inexact_ Sciences.
Exact Science-in its largest sense, that which extends to all domains in which the proper Deductive Method has been or may hereafter be rightly employed-is therefore a _system_or_series_of_truths_relating_to_the_whole_Universe,_or_to_some_department_of_it,_consecutively_and_necessarily_resulting_from,_and_dependent_upon,_each_other,_in_a_definite_chain_or_series;_and_resting_primarily_upon_some_fundamental_truth_or_truths_so_simple_and_self-evident,_that,_when_clearly_stated,_all_men_must,_by_the_natural_constitution_of_the_human_mind,_perceive_them_and_recognize_them_as_true.
