Part of Papers of Sir James Frazer
la maison blanche, Sucy-en-Brie, S. et O. - Thanks him for 'The Growth of Plato's Ideal Theory' but cannot agree with him about Socrates, believes there was no difference between his philosophy and Plato's; does not agree that Plato transformed a logical into an ontological thesis and clarifies his understanding of the idealistic position; Aristotle's natural philosophy has been a disaster for modern science, which has only just recovered; is grateful for stimulating him into become a philosopher again, as he was when he first visited Cambridge in 1893, when they discussed his manuscript; looks forward to meeting him again either in Paris or London.
Accompanied by the envelope, redirected from Macmillan and Co. to the Albemarle Club.
