William James and Henri Bergson. A Study in Contrasting 



Theories of Life. By Horace Meyer Kallen, of the Univer- 

 sity of Wisconsin. . 



xii+248 pages, i2mo, cloth; $1.50, postage extra (weight 1 lb. 5 oz.) 



This volume by Dr. Kallen, of the University of Wisconsin, 

 is a study in philosophic contrasts. It points out how William 

 James and Henri Bergson, although showing certain general 

 tendencies of thought, formulate divergent, and in some respects 

 antagonistic, theories of life and fate. Beginning with a novel 

 critique of the philosophic tradition the book makes clear how, 

 in the conceptions of method, of the nature of reality, of the 

 existence and character of the gods, of the nature and destiny 

 of the human soul, Bergson, with all his originality, merely con- 

 tinues the tradition of transcendentalism, while James in each 

 instance strikes out anew. 



This highly interesting and significant book on the relation 

 between the philosophies of William James and Henri Bergson 

 is the work of a man who had the privilege of being a student 

 under both men, and who was chosen by the late Professor 

 James to edit his unfinished work.
