THIS book, containing extracts from the Philosophy of Locke, is the first of a series to be published under my editorial supervision, for the purpose of presenting the substance of the representative systems of modern philosophy in selections from the original works. Each volume is to be prefaced by a short biographical sketch. of the author, a statement of the historical position of the system, a brief exposition of the system, and a bibliography. Eight volumes have been arranged for, as follows: Des Cartes, by Professor Torrey, of the University of Vermont; Spinoza, by Professor Fullerton, of the University of Pennsylvania; Locke, by Professor Russell, of Williams College; Berkeley, by ex-President Porter, of Yale University; Hume, by Professor Aikins, of Trinity College, N. C.; Reid, by the editor of the series; Kant, by Professor Watson, of Queen's, University, Canada;* Hegel, by Professor Royce, of Harvard University. If sufficient encouragement is given, volumes representing Leibnitz, Jacobi, Fichte, Herbart, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Hartmann, and Spencer will probably follow. * The publishers have purchased an edition of Professor Watson's excellent book, entitled "Extracts from the Philosophy of Kant," and include it in this series. iii |
