Hight, George Ainslie. Unity of will: studies of an irrationalist. **$3. Dutton.
“Mr. Hight’s treatise is quite in line with the present trend of philosophy. This, reversing the long-prevalent and still popular conception of will as the instrument of reason, recognizes will as the master and intellect as its servant, both in the individual and in the universe.... By will is broadly meant the self-active principle manifested in all loving, hating, seeking, shunning, striving.”—Outlook.

“His argument is carried forward with a directness, a logic, a careful avoidance of unnecessary technicalities that are admirable.”

“Whatever be its defects, Mr. Hight’s line of thought is soundly practical, and its effect is tonic and uplifting.”
