or as a living orgamsm. He is the real man." (pp. 123-125.) 

 And, it mav be added, he is the man of the Schoolmen. 



The argument of the book, as we have seen, is that in 

 personality is to be found the explanation and the only 

 explanation of the problem of life. 



In actual fact we do not understand except in the most 

 imperfect manner, the reality which lies behind the appearance 

 of a physical world. But we Understand enough to be certain. 

 that this reality has, arid can have, no existence apart from 

 personality, since existence itself has no meaning apart from, 

 spiritual existence, (p. 135.) ... In personality^ there is always 

 the element of the here and now. New experience is always, as 

 it were; welling up within it, and gradually taking the form of 

 new truth, and new duty. Personality is living^ suffering^ rejoicing, 

 and working existence. This idea is clearly embodied in the 

 Christian conception of God; and when we try to penetrate 

 through the sensuous mist which blurs that conception we can see 

 that our discussion has brought us very near to it. (p. 136.) . . . 

 [Finally]: Personality is the great central fact of the universe. . 

 This world, with all that lies within it, is a spiritual world. 

 (P- I39-) 



This very inadequate sketch of a very interesting work^ 

 with the quotations which we have made from it, will at 

 least suffice to give some idea of the author's line of 

 argument. For its more complete development we must 

 refer our readers to the pages of the book itself.
