Abstract
THE purrpose of this book, we are told, is not so much, to look for solutions as to reqognize problems Such a method, in philosophy, raises the question for whom exactly the author is writing; the answer is, for those who wish to follow the continuity of thought in the light of historical development. The chapters on reality, being, existence and so on are, in effect, descriptions of the positions assumed by the various schools, presented with a clarity to be expected from a French source.
