I IMPORTANCE OF THE QUESTION So rapid is their advance, that events in the social world are apt to leave the preconceived ideas of philosophers in the rear. Hence the pacific movemen t which, for some years past, has been making considerable progress, and is likely before long to become even more extensive, has received but feeble support from philosophy. It owed its initiation to politicians and philanthropists, and they it is who are helping to develop it. With all due regard to the opinions of men such as Leibnitz and Kant, not to mention the names of yet profoundcr thinkers, on the subject of perpetual peace, we are bound to admit that psychology in general has hardly allowed itself to be sufficiently interested in this question. Has this arisen, we may ask, from indifference Or scepticism-but after all, what matter? The main fact remains, that progress is being made in every direction, and it is of little moment to know to whom we owe the work.
