Topics that may be contained in a Study Guide include study and testing strategies; reading, writing, classroom, and project management skills.

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.

James Edwin Creighton was born on April 08, 1861 in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. He was the son of Scotch-Irish parents, John and Mary C. (O’Brien) Creighton.
Creighton attended school in his native town, helped his father on the farm, and taught in the schools of his Province until he was twenty-two, when he entered Dalhousie College in Halifax. Here he came under the influence of Prof. Jacob Gould Schurman who aroused his interest in philosophy and influenced his entire future life. In 1887 Creighton won his Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction in philosophy and then entered Cornell University to pursue his graduate studies under the guidance of Schurman, who had been called to Cornell in 1886. He spent the year of 1888 at the universities of Leipzig and Berlin, and upon his return in 1889 was appointed to an instructorship at Cornell which he held until 1892. In that year he received the doctor’s degree upon the presentation of his doctoral thesis on The Will, Its Structure and Mode of Action (published 1898).
About 1892 Creighton was made the associate professorship of logic and metaphysics in the Sage School of Philosophy, which had been established at Cornell in 1891 through the efforts of Schurman, who became its dean. In 1895 he became the Sage Professor of logic and metaphysics, a chair which he held for the rest of his life. Additional duties, however, were placed upon him in 1893 when he was made co-editor, with President Schurman, of the Philosophical Review, a journal devoted to philosophical research which had been established by Cornell University in 1891. In 1902 he assumed full charge as editor-in-chief, retaining the important office until his death in 1924.
During this long period he exercised a wholesome influence upon the study of philosophy in the United States: he possessed high ideals of scholarship and fine literary taste, qualities which were supported in his case by an editorial conscience that was satisfied only by good workmanship. From 1896 to 1924 he served as the American editor of Kant-Studien, the organ of the German Kant Society. His ability was also shown in the influence which he wielded in the American Philosophical Association, in the founding of which he played a leading part and of which he was the first president (1902 -1903). All these interests and activities contributed to his success as a teacher, particularly in the field of graduate study. The respect of his students was expressed by the publication of a volume of Philosophical Essays published in 1917 under the editorship of Prof. G. II. Sabine, of the Ohio State University.
The esteem in which he was held by his own university found expression in his election, in 1914 as dean of the Graduate School and in 1922 as a faculty representative on the Board of Trustees. Creighton’s philosophy was greatly influenced by the Hegelian philosophy, as this had been developed in England by Bernard Bosanquet and his followers. His published works include: a translation of Wundt’s Hitman and Animal Psychology (1894); a translation of Paulsen’s Immanuel Kant, His Life and Doctrine (1902), with Albert Lefevre; and Studies in Speculative Philosophy, edited by H. R. Smart and published posthumously in 1925.
