Schiller, Ferdinand Canning Scott. Studies in humanism. *$3.25. Macmillan.
7–25524.
“This volume is the most comprehensive and far-reaching exposition of the new humanism that has appeared, yet the possibilities it suggests are more fascinating than the theories it definitely develops.” (Ind.) “What is humanism? And what its Transatlantic cousin, pragmatism? Have we in either of them a logic or a metaphysic, or both, or neither? Dr. Schiller does not shirk these questions.” (Ath.) His best constructive work is the essay on “The making of truth” in which he “disclaims the notion that truth is created by us out of nothing.”

“Whatever we may think of Dr. Schiller’s theory, he has given us an attractive and stimulating book—marked by acuteness and lucidity.” Herbert D. Stewart.
