er, more importance than a simple introduction would have, for in it M. Bergson explains, at greater length and vin greater detail than in the other boobs, 291591 Preface exactly what he means to convey by the word intuition. The intuitive method ia treated independently and not, as elsewhere in his writings, incidentally, in its appli- cations to particular problems. Por this reason every writer who has attempted to give a complete exposition of M. Bergson's philosophy has been obliged to quote this essay at length; and it is indispensable therefore to the full understanding of its author's position. Translations into Ger- man, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Swedish, and Russian have lately appeared, but the Trench original is at present out of print. This translation has had the great ad- vantage of being revised in proof by the author. I have to thank him for many alternative renderings, and also for a few slight alterations in the text, which he thought would make his meaning clearer.
