Transcriber’s Note
Two words on the first line of p. 70 of this edition (noted below) were missing (blank). They have been supplied from the 5th edition, published in 1920.
On p. 226, a footnote at (226.42) refers to Mr. H. G. Wells’s tale, The New Accumulator, which is certainly a reference to his 1901 tale “The New Accelerator”.
On p. 340, the first paragraph refers to ‘two points’, and prefaces the first with ‘(a)’. But there is no ‘(b)’ to denote the second point. It seems likely that ‘(b)’ should precede the next paragraph, or perhaps following the introductory ‘Further’.
The Index reference to p. 467 for ‘Feeling in the Absolute’ cannot be verified. The page does not exist, and no other page can be identified with certainty.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
The most common error is missing punctuation: 6.14 purpose[.], 38.29 inquiry[.], 44.12 periphery[.], 44.41 other[.], 56.47 failure[.], 58.27 theory[.], 62.39 “purposive[”], 67.17 life[.], 67.19 subject[.], 79.46 “matter[”], 82.13 it[.], 88.40 exclusive[.], 89.41 facts[.], 99.13 purpose[.], 108.24 admitted[.], 128.23 [“]substance”, 143.19 arisen[.], 215.10 [“]Nature, 224.22 purpose[.], 236.14 based[.], 251.45 series[.], 274.16 advance[.], 320.32 fatum[.], 361.22 considerations[.], 390.5 “temperament[”], 410.22 thing[.]
The name of Professor Hugo Münsterberg is spelled variably as Münsterberg, Munsterberg, and occasionally with a partial umlaut. The spelling has been rendered as Münsterberg to facilitate text searches at 215.5, 305.15, 315.8, 329.40, 418.3.
