Sidgwick, Henry. Philosophy of Kant, and other philosophical lectures and essays. [*]$3.25. Macmillan.
“The late Professor Sidgwick, a masterly critic, left unpublished lectures and fragments which occupy the larger portion of this volume. They discuss the philosophical teachings of thinkers so widely contrasted as Kant, Thomas Hill Green, and Herbert Spencer. The remainder of the volume consists of essays reprinted from ‘Mind’ and the ‘Journal of philology.’ Of the lectures much the greater part is devoted to a vigorous criticism of Kant, and these were finished to their lamented author’s satisfaction while the others remain less complete.”—Outlook.
