Pte. Organisation De La Connaissance Ses Formes, Sa Valeur, Sa Méthode. Théorie De La Science. This late-19th-century philosophical treatise proposes a unified, hierarchical science grounded in a transcendent principle. The work defends a threefold idea of a system — principle, variety, harmony — and outlines a methodology to construct a complete, harmonious science that integrates all disciplines under a single principled framework ultimately tied to Dieu (God). It surveys three metaphysical approaches to the relation between God and the world—panthéisme, dualisme, and panentheisme—and advocates panentheisme as it preserves both unity of being and divine distinctions. The philosophy presented posits philosophy as the science of principles, the backbone uniting all sciences, with God as the ultimate ground from which knowledge derives. The Methodology chapter distinguishes method from system or science, identifies intuition and deduction as two modes of knowing, and prescribes three guiding rules: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. The core trio—Analysis, Synthesis, Construction—maps ascent from the self to the world and God, then descent to organized, demonstrative unity, and finally fusion of these strands into a coherent system. The text addresses limits, critiques, and the conditions under which hypotheses may be tested to reach knowledge of God, world, and self.
