A Suggestive Philosophy
August 31, 1918 issue

This article critically appraises the book "A Defence of Idealism," by May Sinclair. As an artist having a preoccupation with philosophy, Sinclair's "A Defence of Idealism" defines the bond between the two interests. The ensuing demolition of respectable philosophies, including idealism, subjective and objective, may bewilder a convinced reader. But it is from the ruins of the new realism that Sinclair draws the stones whereof she builds her own fortress. The former, based on the laws of symbolic logic, is fairly impregnable to the layman, to whom the author opens her gates.
