Excerpt from The Human Worth of Rigorous Thinking: Essays and Addresses The following fifteen essays and addresses have appeared, in the course of the last fifteen years, as articles in various scientific, literary, and philosophical journals. For permission to reprint I have to thank the editors and managers of The Columbia University Quarterly, The Columbia University Press, Science, The Educational Review, The Bookman, The Monist, The Hibbert Journal, and The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods. The title of the volume indicates its subject. The fact that one of the essays, the initial one, bears the same title is hardly more than a mere coincidence, for all of the discussions deal with the subject in question and nearly all of them deal with it directly, consciously, and in terms. In passing from essay to essay the attentive reader will notice a few repetitions of thought and possibly a few in forms of expression. Such reiterations, which owe their presence to the occasional character of the essays and to the aims and circumstances that originally controlled their composition, may, it is hoped, be regarded by the charitable reader less as blemishes than as means of emphasizing important considerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
