For a long period of centuries, eX-
tending from antiquity throughout
the middle ages, the two great names
were those of Aristotle and Plato,
the former being a master in the
more practical realm and the latter
the chief of searchers after the
ideal. Other philosophical thinkers
appeared from time to time in diff
ferent nations, and some of them
were of profound height and depth
of mind. with brilliant natural fac
ulties and attainments, but these two
Greeks held the pre-eminence until
the latter half of the nineteenth CEN

bert Spencer, both materialists, but
the former an experimenter and the
latter a theorizer, thus paralleling
somewhat their great predecessors,
began to be considered the leaders
of modern thought.
In the twentieth century the
greatest influence has been that Of
Friedrich NietZsChe. 1t is not clear
how much Ibsen was influenced by
the exponent of egotism, but Ber-
nard Shaw's debt TO him is acknowl-
edged and has been as great as was
