Abstract
THE collection of articles and addresses presented in Mr. Schiller's volume exhibits all the characteristics familiar to readers of his previous work. Paradox is, of course, not wanting; humour enlivens discussion, not. shrinking from the antithesis of “comic ” and “cosmic,” or such a phrase as “ponderous pondering”; philosophy, literary criticism, and the Psychical Research Society are duly represented. Mr. Schiller's style incurs one great disadvantage: it sometimes leaves the reader in doubt whether the matter is really to be taken seriously; perhaps this is why Mr. Schiller has still to complain that philosophers neglect his imperatives.
