.....The author believes that epistemology has kidnapped modern philosophy, and well nigh ruined it; he hopes for the time when the study of the knowledge-process will be recognized as the business of the science of psychology, and when philosophy will again be understood as the synthetic interpretation of all experience rather than the analytic description of the mode and process of experience itself. Analysis belongs to science, and gives us knowledge; philosophy must provide a synthesis or wisdom.
..........— Will Durant [William James Durant] (1885 – 1981), American historian, philosopher, and author. The Story of Philosophy (1926), "To The Reader."
