“The only novel thing about the work is its arrangement, which suggests in many respects an improvement over the traditional arrangement of the time.”

Joachim, Harold Henry. Nature of truth: an essay. *$2. Oxford.
7–2578.
Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“The author’s argument is genuine and sincere throughout, his analysis of current theories patient and thorough-going, his criticism of them acute and searching. Moreover, the book is written in a style that befits a philosophical treatise. Philosophic reflection cannot fail to be furthered by the stimulating and helpful criticism contained in Mr. Joachim’s book. That criticism will certainly assist in clearing away much sham knowledge and in preparing the ground for the ‘construction’ that is to come.” G. Dawes Hicks.

“Mr. Joachim does not discuss the view of truth commonly described by the term Pragmatism, and it is doubtful whether the reasons given for this omission are adequate. There can be no doubt that Mr. Joachim’s book is a very valuable contribution to philosophy, though it confessedly leaves some fundamental difficulties unsolved.” J. S. Mackenzie.

“It seems to the reviewer that his main contribution to the subject lies in the various criticisms he takes up apart from the rather unsatisfactory negative result.” M. Phillips Mason.
