Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Philosophy. At that time I had the presumption to believe that I was myself destined to be a philosopher. The course of events has led to my since being mainly occupied with what are foolishly distinguished as practical affairs (for what is so powerful in practice as a philosophy ?), and the completion of this book has been the work of odd moments. It was partly written in Oxford ;partly at Repton, while I was Headmaster there ;but more than half of it has been dictated in spare half-hours since I came to London, indeed during the first six months of 1916. I have been eager to finish it, partly as a tribute to an old ambition, partly as a stimulus, if it may be so, to some real philosopher to do more adequately what I am only able to sketch out. We need very urgently some one who will do for our day the work that St. Thomas A quinas did for his. It would be impossible to give any adequate list of acknowledgments. It is said of Bishop Westcott that he held in especial veneration St. John, Origen, and Browning. I do not in any way claim comparison with that great scholar and seer if I say that the first name and the third, with Plato sin place of Origen s, would designate the master-influences upon my own thought.
