Abstract

The Metaphysicians Confess
Hazlitt, Henry | July 2, 1930 issue

The article critically appraises the book "Contemporary American Philosophy," edited by George P. Adams and William Pepperell Montague. It will probably be the fate of these two volumes to repose quietly on the shelves of reference libraries, there to be dusted and consulted occasionally by a few earnest students and specialists. This will be regrettable, for they are astonishingly rich in entertainment and stimulation. The present volumes contain the intellectual autobiographies of thirty-four present or Quondam professors of philosophy. Each contributor was asked to state his principal philosophic beliefs, the reasons supporting them and the manner in which he had reached them.
