The ocean of facts has no bottom and no shore. It is this conception of the ultimacy of time and pure factuality on which modern philosophy, particularly since the days of Kant, has laid such great stress. And it is because of the general recognition of the ultimacy of chance that rationalism of the sort that Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz represented, is out of date. It has been customary to speak of post-Kantian philosophy as irrationalistic.
