VIII. PHILOSOPHICAL PEKIODICALS. PHILOSOPHICAL REVIEW. Vol. xv., No. 4. J. H. Tufts. ' Some Con- tributions of Psychology to the Conception of Justice.' [Applies the psychological doctrines of the complexity of the individual, the nature of the individual as both habit and adjusting activity, the emptiness of forms without contents, and the social character of the individual, to the problems of the just distribution of wealth, the just distribution of education and other mental goods, and the administration of justice by the courts. The injustice of present conditions is shown, and remedies are indicated.] A. E. Taylor. ' The Place of Psychology in the Classi- fication of the Sciences.' [Psychology is a natural science. It is dis- tinguished from the abstract philosophical sciences by their use of transcendental noumenal ideals into which no time-variable appears to enter ; and from the concrete, the Geistesivissenschaften, by their evaluation of temporal facts in terms of intellectual, moral and aesthetic worth and in the light of transcendental ideal standards.] G. N. Dolson. ' The Idealism of Malebranche.' [This is in some respects unique, and, while it resembles that of Berkeley, is yet more akin to later systems. Epistemologically, Malebranche's view of philosophical method consists in making and keeping clear of confusion the various elements of con- sciousness due respectively to reason and sensation. Ontologically, the system centres about the doctrine of ideas. Joly's contention that it is essentially realistic is not admissible.] J. E. Russell. ' Some difficulties with the Epistemology of Pragmatism and Radical Empiricism.' [State- ment of four difficulties : the pragmatic union of the ruling conceptions and methods of psychology and logic ; the meaning of thought ; the ex- planation of truth and knowledge; the logical escape from solipsism.] Reviews of Books. Notices of New Books. Summaries of Articles. Notes. [Reply to Gardiner by Hyslop.] PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW. Vol. xiii., No. 4. F. Arnold. ' The Psycho- logy of Interest,' I. [Review of theories of interest, as connected with feeling and attention, from Herbart to Calkins.] B. Sidis. 'Are there Hypnotic Hallucinations?' [The introspective account of the hypnotic subject must be taken cum grano. Hypnotic and posthypnotic hal- lucinations are not genuine, but are essentially spurious ; hypnotic hallucinations, unlike actual hallucinations, are really not experienced ; hypnotically suggested hallucinations are merely forms of delusions.] J. R. Angell. ' Studies from the Psychological Laboratory of the Uni- versity of Chicago. ' H. Carr and J. B. Allen. ' A Study of Certain Relations of Accommodation and Convergence to the Judgment of the Third Dimension.' [Report of experiments upon an observer with direct voluntary control of lenticular accommodation independent of convergence, in whose case depth is a function of accommodation and not effectively influenced by convergent changes ; notes upon a second and somewhat similar case. Discussion of theoretical importance of
