ABSTRACT
If this chapter is circumscribed in its treatment, the fault is not in the paucity of the material but rather in its too extensive scope. We should remember that the philosophy of character is not in any sense a part of the psychology of character, but since it does offer some points of contact with our subject, it is desirable that we should take a glimpse into its claims, at least after disregarding en bloc the countless books and articles dealing with the problems of individuality and individuation, the self, and the purely metaphysical discussions of personality in which personality is contrasted with object, world, externality, society, etc.
