Ravaisson, s'inspirant de la pensée d'Aristote, en fait le principe indiscutable de toute métaphysique digne de ce nom. M. Janet ne va pas jusque-là ; il fait observer que, tandis que l'esprit ne peut se refuser à reconnaître une cause à tout changement dans la nature, il ne subit plus la même nécessité, s'il s'agit de rapporter un résultat quelconque à une fin. La preuve en est dans la croyance générale au hasard. Dira-t-on que le hasard n'est que le mot de l'ignorance ?
