| 520 | |a "The title of this volume might be understood in either or both of two senses. It might be taken to point to that mass of disputable and much disputed phenomena which are commonly ignored by the academic psychologist or, at the best, relegated by him to a special field of 'psychical research'. I use the word 'frontier' more literally, namely, to point to the relatively unexplored regions that lie between the recognised provinces of the established sciences. For in those regions (always the most fascinating to the curious mind) lie many problems which may be solved only by co-operation of two or more sciences. More than any other science, psychology is, or must inevitably become, involved in such co-operative efforts. In this little book it has been possible to treat only a small part of the vast regions indicated by its title. I have selected for discussion a few leading examples of typical frontier problems. It seemed necessary to preface these discussions with some remarks on the relations of the sciences to one another and to philosophy, and with some reflections on scientific method, truth, causation and the pragmatic principle. These are difficult topics to handle in a few pages. My hope of having made myself intelligible to the lay reader lies in the fact that my views on all these much-debated matters are simple, clear-cut, consistent, mature and emphatic"--Preface.
