In the belief that this intriguing nest of problems needs to be re-examined, I recently spent some months in India, Greece, and the Near East and in libraries in Europe and America. An adequate study of the problems would require years. In this report I offer some impressions which I hesitate to call conclusions, but which may serve at least to state some of the questions. No attempt is made to enumerate the kindly scholars who in all these countries welcomed me and helped me. I would be glad to receive further criticisms and suggestions from anyone who is interested-especially at any point where I may have followed the wrong expert. It should be noted that consideration is here almost entirely confined to philosophers prior to Socrates; the problems of possible Eastern influences on Plato and Aristotle are too involved for brief treatment, and in the Hellenistic period, after the blaze of Alexander, conditions were different from those of the early days
