To move from physics to metaphysics is to move farther from touchable things to more abstract conceptions, from pictured images to comprehended ideas, from concrete forms to mind-held abstractions. The first leads to materialism, if the research stops there and goes no further. If, however, he pursues the enterprise and looks for origins, sources, and primary causes, he must end up as a mentalist.
