PREFATORY NOTE
The Essays which follow represent an attempt atintellectual coöperation. No effort has been made,however, to attain unanimity of belief nor to proffer aplatform of "planks" on which there is agreement. Theconsensus represented lies primarily in outlook, in convictionof what is most likely to be fruitful in methodof approach. As the title page suggests, the volumepresents a unity in attitude rather than a uniformityin results. Consequently each writer is definitivelyresponsible only for his own essay. The reader willnote that the Essays endeavor to embody the commonattitude in application to specific fields of inquirywhich have been historically associated with philosophyrather than as a thing by itself. Beginning with philosophyitself, subsequent contributions discuss its applicationto logic, to mathematics, to physical science, topsychology, to ethics, to economics, and then again tophilosophy itself in conjunction with esthetics and religion.The reader will probably find that the significantpoints of agreement have to do with the ideas of thegenuineness of the future, of intelligence as the organfor determining the quality of that future so far as itcan come within human control, and of a courageouslyinventive individual as the bearer of a creatively employedmind. While all the essays are new in the formin which they are now published, various contributorsmake their acknowledgments to the editors of thePhilosophical Review, the Psychological Review, andthe Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and ScientificMethods for use of material which first made its appearancein the pages of these journals.
