This article focuses on the book "Genetic Theory of Reality," by James Mark Baldwin. The book has been in the reviewer's hands longer than is usual. With all these defects, the book is none the less a considerable contribution to philosophical ideas, it abounds in suggestions that deserve to be called brilliant, and, as crowning the "Genetic Logic," it stands for a fairly notable achievement. Historical theories of reality, based upon this "mediate" stage-actuality-theories, based upon intellect or idealistic theories, based upon will, are shown by the author to be inevitably partial and inadequate.
