Reviews
"Paul Weiss is a national resource at a time when most philosophers are narrow, technical, and obscure. Philosophy is for him a life's activity. This journal, even more than his systematic books, is the expression of philosophy in him.
"Here we see his restless mind, taking up one question after another, never satisfied with his own previous rendering. It is vital to philosophical education that these qualities of mind be exhibited at a time when 'philosophy' too often implies a finished statement with all its motives concealed.
"I am dazzled by Weiss's vigor, insight, and persistence. He is a Socrates, never willing to let go, obliging the rest of us to defend ourselves. This quality is the one that no intelligent public can ignore or deny. " — David Weissman
