 The “inherent nature of reason,” Bosanquet adds, is “the absolute demand for totality and consistency” (Value and Destiny of the Individual, p. 9). Moreover, logic— which Bosanquet calls “the spirit of totality”—is “the clue to reality, value and freedom” (Principle of Individuality and Value, p. 23). Not surprisingly, then, Bosanquet argues that metaphysics—“the general science of reality”—cannot be distinguished from logic—the science of knowledge—any more than one can separate a result from the process which produces it.
