This book is metaphysical rather than psychological in nature, and therefore does not call for extended comment in this JOURNAL.
The author belongs to the vigorous modern Italian school of Idealism,
and the present work (the original was published in 1922) may to some extent be regarded as an extension of Croce's theory of art to the wider problems of life in general, an analogy being drawn between the relations of mind to its physical substrata on the one hand, and the relations of the artist's institution to his plastic material upon the other.
This book should thus prove interesting both to the philosopher and to the student of Aesthetics.
