<TO THE READER>
The best way to discover and achieve philosophic thinking is to come into direct and living contact with it. Each of the following selections deals with an issue which is of that basic, foundational character known as philosophical. It might be more accurate to say that in the discussion of its main problem each selection raises many others, which the reader who has developed the philosophic habit of thought gradually comes to discriminate. Often the same problem will turn up in more than one writer and a similar or a sharply contrasting viewpoint will emerge.

The reader will want to know what it is that he is not to expect in a book of this kind. To begin with, he is not to suppose that he will discover every possible problem of philosophy, every possible treatment of any one problem, or every possible school of thought. It is likely that almost any issue he meets either has been or could be approached from some other philosophic viewpoint. The searching, ever-critical character of philosophy makes this inevitable. In a book of this kind it is naturally most useful to be able to find out how different rather than how fundamentally similar philosophic theories and analyses and formulations can be. Further, it must not be supposed that any selection is a key to or a summary of its writer's entire thought. This may or may not be so; but a selection is best read for what it actually says or implies.
