PREFACE
THE material of these lectures, which I had the
honor of delivering at Princeton lJniversity, on the
Vanuxem Foundation, was prepared, during the
War, at the Universities of Harvard, Poitiers, and
Toronto. Certain portions of the work, relatively
few, have already appeared in the form of articles,
viz.: part of Chapter I in the Revue de Metap·hy�­

the Philosophical Review� July, 1918; Chapter V,
iii, in the I nternati·onal Journal of Ethics� January,
1919; Chapter III, ii, and Chapter VII, i-v, in the
Harvard Theological Review� October, 1918.

belongs. My work represents simply an attempt
'to open the way ; it makes no pretense to exhaustive

friends who have aided me in translating these lee-
