ZETETIC
ASTRONOMY.
The
term
“
zetetic
”
is
derived
from
the
Greek
verb
zeteo;
which
means
to
search
or
examine
to
proceed
only
by
inquiry.
None
can
doubt
by
making
special
experiments
and
collect-
ing
manifest
and
undeniable
facts,
arranging
them
in
logical
order,
and
observing
what
is
naturally
and
fairly
deducible,
the
result
will
be
far
more
consistent
and
satisfactory
than
by
framing
a
theory
or
system
and
assuming
the
existence
of
causes
for
which
there
is
no
direct
evidence,
and
which
can
only
be
admitted
“
for
that
the
sake
of
argument.”
—
“supposing
character
All
theories
are
of
this
instead
of
inquiring,
imagining
systems
instead
of
learning
from
observation
and
experience
the
true
constitution
of
things.
Speculative
men,
by
the
force
of
genius
may
invent
systems
that
will
perhaps
be
greatly
admired
for
a
time;
these,
however,
are
phantoms
which
the
force
of
truth
will
sooner
or
later
and
while
we
are
pleased
with
the
deceit,
dispel
true
philosophy,
with
all
the
arts
and
improve-
ments
that
depend
upon
it,

The
real
;
state
of
things
escapes
our
observation
;
or,
if
it
it
presents
itself
to
us,
we
are
apt
either
to
reject
