Press Notices 



"Prof. Royce thinks that the book' will be read with particular interest on account of 

 the opposition that it offers to current 'anti-intellectual' types of philosophizing, though 

 the book was first published in Italian before the controversies about 'pragmatism,' 'intu- 

 itionism,' etc., arose. At the same time, Enriques, whose disposition is that of the mathema- 

 tician and logician, has, through independent thinking, come to support the same theses as 

 the pragmatists regarding the 'instrumental' or the 'functional' character of thought." — 

 Springfield Republican. 



"The book is written in a very attractive style, and presents some of the most difficult 

 problems in a way that the unprofessional reader can understand. It is worthy of being 

 translated into English, and worthy of this excellent translation." — Boston Transcript. 



"Enriques, as Prof. Royce shows, views the thinking process as an 'adjustment' to 

 'situations,' but he also lays great stress 'upon the tendency of science to seek unity upon 

 the synthetic aspect of scientific theory, upon what he calls the "association of concepts 

 and scientific "representations." ' Enriques treats all these questions with originality as 

 well as great depth of thought and|the appearance of his bookJn|.Enghsh makes anjimpor- 

 tant addition to the body of metaphysical literature in our language." — Chicago News. 



"The Work before us is perhaps the most considerable since Mill." — The Nation.
