Reviews

"Weiss' entry for January 21, 1979, expresses his own understanding of this journal and its significance. 'I think this journal shows me primarily in the role of a philosopher, while the systematic works exhibit my philosophy. ' Neither can be dealt with in isolation from the other for they are interrelated by mutual influence. " — Thomas Krettek, S. J., The Review of Metaphysics

"Paul Weiss is a natural resource at a time when most philosophers are narrow, technical and obscure. Philosophy is for him a life's activity. This journal, even more than his systematic books, is the expression of philosophy in him. " — David Weissman
