The article presents information on the book "American Philosophy, Today and Tomorrow," edited by H.M. Kallen and Sidney Hook. This is a "free-range" symposium of twenty-five American philosophers-professional and non-professional who have been asked to expound their attitudes and outlooks in terms of their personal development, and to indicate what they individually regard as the most pressing problems of the future. In the back of most of these twenty-five minds there seems to be the same set of related propositions, namely, that philosophy and science can possess no absolutes, that rationality is extremely limited, and that uncertainty and indeterminacy pervade the universe, whose every element is transitory and relative in value.
