  Works by Dr. Rudolf Eucken Professor of Philosophy, University of Jena In 1908, Dr. Eucken was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. His books have been translated into many languages and their influence is widespread. Through his sustained and heroic appeal to what is most spiritual in man, Eucken has ennobled the significance and the mission of philosophy. He aims at developing, not a new category, but a new culture, and holds that it is the privilege of philosophy, by penetrating to what is most inward in human nature, to bring a religious inspiration to bear upon the problems of the world of human labor. Eucken's philosophy is a philosophy of life. It is a philosophy of reality as well. It treats of the sources of man's strength, and the meaning and purpose of his spiritual endeavor. And can there be anything more real than the activity of a life that has consciously realized the true sources of its power and the goal of its ultimate aspirations? New York G. P.

I may add that Mr. Hulme was excellently well qualified for his task by the careful study that he has made of the whole series of my writings. I have examined his translation with care and am able to say that it renders with remarkable accuracy the thought and the conclusions presented in my volume." Henri Bergson. This volume forms the best introduction to M. Bergson's philosophy. In it the author explains with a thoroughness not attempted in his other books the precise meaning he wishes to convey by the word intuition. A reading of this book is, therefore, indispensable to a proper understanding of Bergson's position. German, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, and Russian translations of it have already appeared, testifying to its intrinsic importance and indicating the scope of its appeal. G. P.
