The Book of the Damned Chapter 1
from The Book of the Damned · host Charles Hoy Fort
In which an array of excluded and anomalous data—termed "the damned"—is assembled to illustrate the flawed and arbitrary processes by which Science, striving for order and definiteness, excludes that which resists clear categorisation. It is proposed that all phenomena are continuous and interrelated, rendering final proofs and rigid definitions impossible, while existence itself is portrayed as a restless intermediate state seeking but never achieving the universal reality it imitates.
