Notes:

"Published 1947,. Enlarged Edition 1956."

"The main body of this book is unchanged. But a Supplement is added containing five previously published articles. They grew out of discussions about problems dealt with in this book. They sometimes give a more detailed or clearer formulation of my position, sometimes they represent a modification of my earlier views, often stimulated by discussions and objections by other authors."--Preface to the Second Edition.
