Excerpt from Studies of Good and Evil: A Series of Essays Upon Problems, of Philosophy and of Life

The essays which constitute the present volume, despite the variety of their topics and of the occasions under which they were prepared, have an unity which is already indicated in the title, but which may well be more explicitly set forth in this introduction.

As a teacher of philosophy, the author of the papers here collected has several times given expression, in former books, to theories upon fundamental metaphysical issues. These theories belong to a type not unfamiliar in the present speculation, namely, to the type of post Kantian idealism. But the philosophical idealist is interested not only in stating his fundamental convictions, but also in applying them to more concrete problems, especially to relatively practical problems. If idealism means anything, it means a theory of the universe which simply must not be divorced from empirical considerations, or from the business of life.
