T HESE dialogues are the work of a poet and critic who has rapidly achieved distinction, and although their primary purpose is to suggest a philosophic attitude towards modern metaphysical problems, they stand to be judged as literature as well as philosophy. Mr. Abercrombie’s attitude, one of individualism and Pyrrhonism, makes itself clear in the course of a series of dialogues between such personified abstractions as Famine and Pestilence, War and Murder, Science and the World; Philosophy and an Angel.
