Excerpt from Philosophical Currents of the Present Day, Vol. 1
Eight years ago, when I first read "Die Philosophischen Stromungen der Gegemvart," I was struck by the wonderful mass of information contained in it, most of which was altogether new to me. This mass of information it handles in such a lucid manner that the reader passes by imperceptible stages from one mode of thinking to another, till on looking back, he is surprised to find how many different systems of thought he has been able to master. This is due to the circumstance that the different modes of thinking are not presented in their isolation but are woven in the texture of the whole work. The author, moreover, has always a distinct position of his own from which he surveys all philosophical movements.
This work has the great merit of introducing to the public many comparatively unfamiliar systems of thought. The systems of Houston Stewart-Chamberlain and Count Keyserling occur chiefly to one's mind in this connexion. When one reflects how important their share in the philosophical movements of the present day is, one cannot but be grateful to the author for having given so much prominence in his book to their thoughts.
"Die Philosophischen Stromungen der Gegenwart" is probably the most comprehensive survey that exists of the philosophical position of the present day. It is much more thorough than either Kulpe or Aliotta's work. When, therefore, both Kulpe's "Philosophie der Gegenwart in Deutschland" and Aliotta's "La Reazione Idealistica Contro la Scienza" have been translated into English, no apology is needed for bringing out an English edition of the much more important work of Professor Ludwig Stein.
