Excerpt from The Eternal Values This is the first time that I have ventured to write a book in both English and German. So far the author in me has presented a case of double personality. For many years the one person has written English, but has published only light books and essays; all that time the other person has written in German, but has insisted on writing scholarly papers and systematic works. The one tried to address a wider public; the other sought only the ear of the scholar. Neither knew what the other was doing. In this way my publications of the last year were again divided. When I wanted to discuss popularly the relations of. Psychology to law and to medicine, the American in me came to the front and wrote in light vein On the Witness Stand and Psychotherapy. But when the philosophical striving of my whole life had led me to a new idealistic standpoint from which I saw the ultimate problems of the world in a new light, it seemed only natural that the German in me should say it in his mother tongue and with the seriousness of scholarly formulation. The product was my Philosophie der Werte. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
