Refers to Welby's idea of 'Significs', which, he believes, includes three inquiries. In relation to the inquiry into the meaning of things, he asks '[w]hat is there to be known about the relations of things beyond what we know already', and '[w]hat is the value or worth of things' or '[w]hat is the ultimate end or good to which all the processes of change in the world we know are really means'. Declares the latter as the fundamental question of philosophy, and discusses the likely reactions of 'the ordinary scientist' and the logician to it.
