Présentation de l'éditeur
The publication of so small a book, dealing with so vast a subject, certainly calls for some explanation. It is the outcome of a latter plan the ridtculus mus, as some may think, that has issued from a too ambitious undertaking. I had promised a good many years :o to write a book forS onnenschein sL ibrary of Philosophy, giving a comprehensive and connected survey of philosophical first principles, these appear in the light of the most recent developments of thought. This promise may at some time be fulfilled; but the duties of a teacher of Philosophy in a provincial College are not favourable to laie constructive efforts; and several circumstances have made this particular attempt appear less urgent than it once did. The publication of Mr. Bradley sgreat work on Appearance andR eality might well give pause to any one who had a similar design in view. If his brilliant dialectic and subtle speculative insight had failed to produce a convincing scheme of philosophic truth, the prospect was not very encouraging for the smaller fry. On the other hand, so far as he had succeeded, further attempts in the same direction became unnecessary.
