Hoffding, Harald. Problems of philosophy; tr. by Galen M. Fisher; with preface by W. James. *$1. Macmillan.
“The work contains but four chapters, and they deal, respectively, with the problems of consciousness, knowledge, being and values—the ethical and religious problems being comprised in the latter.

At the same time, the various continuities are defined not as absolutes of existence, but as ideals; they are not philosophical fact, but philosophical aim.”—Bookm.
“Since it is so compact and profound, will be of more service as a résumé of philosophic theory for advanced students than as an introduction for beginners.” George B. Foster.
