Founder of the Aristotelian Society, Hodgson considerably influenced James and Peirce and stoutly defended epiphenomenalism, which theory he first articulated in his 1870 Theory of Practice. Though in large part working within the framework of Kantian Categories, Hodgson's work is in many ways similar to Husserl's phenomenology, with the major difference that Hodgson grounds consciousness on its neural substrate (thus its epiphenomenal nature). A subtle and important thinker, Hodgson slipped into nearly complete neglect in the 20th century when the Anglo-American philosophical tradition moved in a different direction. Volume 4 includes three useful discussions of Hodgson: G. F. Stout's "The Philosophy of Mr. Shadworth Hodgson," Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, vol. 1 (1892), pp. 107-120; H. Wildon Carr's "Shadworth Hollway Hodgson," Mind, vol. 21 ns (1912), pp. 473-85; G. Dawes Hicks' "Shadworth Hollway Hodgson," Proceedings of the British Academy, vol. 6 (1913), pp. 508-16.

A valuable set for both Royce and Peirce students. Volume 1 brings together previously scattered extracts, essays, and letters; volume two gathers unpublished speeches, lectures, and papers from the Harvard archives and Royce's family. The set focuses on Royce's non-logical writings. Since towards the end of his life Royce undertook a detailed study of Peirce's ideas, there is much material relating to Peirce, who thought that Royce understood his ideas better than anyone else.
