“The book, as a compendium of thought on this vast theme, is one
which no student can afford to do without.... We venture the
prediction that Professor Hicks’ fascinating and in every way
admirable treatise will become recognized as one of the works
which not only mark but help to make an epoch in speculative
thought.”—_The Examiner._
FINAL CAUSES.

“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological
philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul
Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which
the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning
question of the day, viz., that final causes are not inconsistent
with physical causation.”—_Independent._
