Excerpt from Modern Philosophers: Lectures Delivered at the University of Copenhagen During the Autumn of 1902 and Lectures on Bergson, Delivered in 1913 When I cast about for what I take to be the most significant characteristic of the philosophical activity during the last quarter of a century, it is borne in upon me that the personal factor will be found to have asserted itself more strongly in this than in my earlier work. This factor will be found to take an active part both in the choice of the representative and in presentation and judgment. This is the reason why I have published the present volume as an independent work, and not as simply the third part of my History of Modern Philosophy.
