 PHILOSOPHICAL PEEIODICALS. 137 activity feelings.] M. Wertheimer. ' Experimentelle Untersuchungen zur Tatbestandsdiagnostik.' [Seeks to answer the question whether one can, by experimental methods, discover that a given person knows or doea not know of a given set of circumstances. The method is that of uncon- strained associations, a word being shown and the reactor answering by another word. There are five groups of experiments : entirely uncon- trolled preliminary series ; series based on given circumstances unknown to the reactor ; series based on known circumstances ; the same, with instructions to the reactor to conceal his knowledge ; and introspective series. Analysis of results leads to an affirmative answer to the general question. Conditions of temporal and qualitative abnormality of critical reactions are association, persistence, Einstellung, and affective and volitional phenomena.] O. Kohnstamm.

[An historical account of the development of Schiller's philosophical views.] Jonas Cohn. 1 Das Kantische Element in Goethes Weltanschauung.' [This is a most interesting and valuable article.
