Abstract
THE prodigious output of philosophical literature in Great Britain during the last hundred years makes it difficult for one to attempt a thorough examination of the various currents cutting across the field of speculative thought. Such an attempt involves a mastery of the manifold windings of that thought itself and a spiritual acquaintance with its distinguished representatives. A British scholar might have found it difficult to undertake such a task: living in the very atmosphere he would have to analyse, he might feel perhaps a lack of perspective for an unbiased outline of the controversial object of his inquiry.
