Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valuation Its Nature and Laws: Being an Introduction to the General Theory of Value The point of view, the unexpressed assumptions in the half light of which any book, even the most scientific, is written, and which sometimes find their way into the preface, are often' more informing and more interesting than the book itself. This should be eminently true in the case of a book on Values, for here, if anywhere, the writer might, perhaps, be permitted to wear his heart on his sleeve. It is not my purpose, however, to add this glimmer of possible human interest to an otherwise/ dull book. In so far as the statement of such presuppositions may have any significance for the main developments of the book, they are presented with due objectivity and detachment in the Introduction, and carried - with equal care, it is to be hoped-to some of their more obvious conclusions in the final chapter. It is unnecessary to anticipate them here. But with regard to the more general background - the relation of such a book to the characteristic assumptions of the time - the situa tion is different. Here a prefatory word may be a word in season it may not only illuminate some of the dark. Places, but may even give the key to an appreciation if not to a complete understanding of the entire discussion.
