In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

358 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY criticism of the folklore of romantic "progress" (pp. 353-359). But "emergent evolution," which is full of folklore, must be definitely distinguished from "critical naturalism," which accepts "emergents," as Darwin did, without regarding them as either "explanations" or as a theory of evolutionary "levels." It seems to me that one of the important philosophical consequences of Darwin's biology has been the discarding of evolutionary theories of progress in both social sciences and philosophies of existence. This is admitted by the authors, but with an excess of complications. Part IV, on the "Contemporary Scene," reveals how difficult it is to separate the elements of romantic folklore from science in positivist and phenomenological methods of philosophic criticism . And it tempts the reader as well as the author (George Geiger) to believe that a new folklore is rapidly emerging from critical philosophies, thus giving future philosophers fresh fodder. HERBERT W.
