Abstract
MISS EMMET describes metaphysical statements as statements about the real which transcends experience. Her view in brief is as follows: There is a real world of which we are part and to which in our living we are responsive, but of the nature of which we have no direct experience. Nor have we any means of characterizing it as it is in itself, since in all our awareness, whether through sensing or through reasoning, what is displayed is rather our responses to it than its own nature. In this sense the real transcends experience. The Nature of Metaphysical Thinking By Dorothy M. Emmet. Pp. xi + 238. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1945.) 10s. 6d. net.
