Books by John William Miller

"Dry wit and analytic adroitness ... [This survey] contains some rich and stimulating material." -Kirkus Reviews

Miller uses his original reinterpretation of the history of philosophy to examine the philosophy of history. He criticises all attempts to interpret history on premises not themselves historical.

The Definition of the Thing is John William Miller's Harvard dissertation of 1922. In this unusually provocative and original essay, Miller had already worked out a number of the basic contentions of his mature philosophy.
