BIBLIOGRAPHY

The references contained in this bibliography have been selected on the score of availability in English for the general reader and beginning student of philosophy. But I have sought wherever possible to include pa.s.sages from the great philosophers and men of letters. These are placed first in the list, followed by references to contemporary writers and secondary sources.
