This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Lewis was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts on April 12, 1883. His father was a skilled worker in a shoe factory, and Lewis grew up in relatively humble circumstances.
Lewis received his bachelor's degree from Harvard, having studied with Josiah Royce and William James. After teaching at the University of Colorado, he returned to Harvard in 1908 and was awarded his doctorate 2 years later. During this period he studied with George Santayana and Ralph Barton Perry, as well as with Royce.
The final presentation of this system was Symbolic Logic (1932), written with Cooper Harold Langford. In 1920 Lewis returned to Harvard as a professor of philosophy. While teaching he also worked out his theory of conceptual pragmatism, published in Mind and the World-order (1929). According to Lewis, knowledge consists of the conceptual interpretation of the empirically given data of experience. Basic concepts utilized in the interpretation are a priori. However, the mind is not fitted out with a set of categories once and for all, as Immanuel Kant had claimed. Rather, the categories are selected pragmatically-that is, with attention to the ends of action, for which knowledge is gained and into which it issues. Lewis's lectures before the American Philosophical Association were published as Analysis of Knowledge and Valuation (1946). The book was divided into three parts. The first described Lewis's theory of logic; the second advanced his theory of empirical knowledge; and the last set forth his theory of value judgment. The work stimulated intense discussion and comment in philosophical journals. After retiring from Harvard in 1953, Lewis joined the Stanford University faculty. He focused on ethics and social philosophy. His 1954 lectures at Columbia University were published as The Ground and Nature of the Right (1955). His lectures at Indiana University were published as Our Social Inheritance (1957). Lewis died at his home in California on Feb. 3, 1964. His manuscript on ethics, edited by John Lange, was published as Values and Imperatives (1969).
