 PREFACE

 

IN the following pages I have confined myself in the main to
those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible
to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative
criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge
occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and
some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very briefly, 
if at all.

I have derived valuable assistance from unpublished writings
of G. E. Moore and J. M. Keynes: from the former, as regards the
relations of sense-data to physical objects, and from the latter as
regards probability and induction. I have also profited greatly by
the criticisms and suggestions of Professor Gilbert Murray.
