Abstract
THIS book is to be welcomed as a definite attempt to estimate the implications of modern research on philosophy. The author claims that his position rests on Plato, Kant, Leibniz, Bergson, and we are certainly in agreement with him when he maintains that recent advance in physical science has weakened materialistic views to an extent not yet generally appreciated. An introductory essay by Louis Zangwill is of special help to the less experienced student in showing him the unexpected paths that have been traversed in the quest of spiritual truth. This treatment is partly historical and has special reference to the philosophers already mentioned.
