摘要
This work is an examination of Royce's philosophy including his views on Indian philosophy. The author is critical of Royce's idealism and defends the materialistic and naturalistic schools of Indian thought. The book is divided into five chapters：an introduction; a chapter on Royce's life (1855-1916) and background; a somewhat general examination of Royce's metaphysics, epistemology and ethics; a brief chapter entitled "Royce and Indian philosophy：Upanisads, Samkhya, and Buddhism," and a conclusion wherein the author suggests "that it is possible to develop a theory of the self and world without accepting any of the basic idealistic presuppositions of Royce's theory."
