ely desire to indicate briefly some of the many aspects of the theory, and if only we have been able to suggest a line of inquiry, the primary object of this essay has been attained. FOOTNOTES: [81:1] Originally printed in 1898, now revised and rewritten. _Printed by_ MORRISON & GIBB LIMITED, _Edinburgh_ _BY THE SAME AUTHOR_ THE DYNAMIC FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE _Crown 8vo. 330 pp. 6s. net_ "Mr. Philip, a thinker of considerable acuteness, expounds further the dynamic theory of knowledge which he propounded in 'Matter and Energy' and the 'Doctrine of Energy.' What we are really sensible of in the external world is mutation; but the consciousness of our own activity suggests the existence of something behind phenomena. The reality which sustains experience is found to be, in essence, power--power conceived as an energy containing within itself the principle of its own evolution; an energy constantly transmuting itself, and in its transmutations furnishing the entire presentation of sense. The universal application of this concept unifies science or the knowledge of nature; and the dynamic theory is applied by Mr. Philip to life, economics, and education." _Times._ "Well written, and contains much sound analysis of perception and the like, with much that is debatable but suggestive and stimulating."--_Nature._ "The argument is conducted with great ability and thoroughness, and the writer reveals a most accurate acquaintance with the results of both science and philosophy."--_Glasgow Herald._ KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, TRUeBNER, & CO., LTD.
