(1) Conscience and Fanaticism: An Essay in Moral Values (2) The Nature of Being: An Essay in Ontology (3) Life and Finite Individuality: Two Symposia

Abstract

WE have been forced, by great world events to revise many accepted formulæ and analyse anew many familiar concepts. The period of reconstruction on which the human race seems to have entered is not confined to economic and social relations, and “unrest” is not merely descriptive of the labour world; it extends to the sphere of speculation. In the new order which we feel arising it is easy to see that the predominant interest is the problem of the limits of individuality.
