PREFACE 

THE aim of the following pages is fully stated in the Intro- 
ductory Chapter. Here I need only mention that some of the 
reflections in this book are taken from articles of mine in the 
Monist of 1908 and in Nature of 1909. To the Editors of 
these periodicals I wish to express my thanks for allowing me 
again to say some things which their kindness allowed me to 
say before. I must also thank those of my friends who have 
kindly read and helpfully criticised parts of this book.
