THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM ERNEST HOCKING FROM 1898 TO 1964 COMPILED BY RICHARD C. GILMAN CARLETON COLLEGE NORTHFIELD, MINNESOTA Foreword This bibliography of the writings of William Ernest Hocking is a revision and enlargement of an earlier edition, published in I95I at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Work on that edition had begun in the spring of I949, while the bibliographer was serving as assistant to Hocking at Dartmouth College, and was continued in connection with the preparation of a doctoral dissertation presented at Boston University in I952. Since that time the attempt has been made to keep current the record of Hocking's writings, and the present revision is the result. Although every effort has been expended to make this bibliography complete and accurate, it is possible that certain of the more casual items, such as letters to editors of newspapers or journals, reviews, and short notices may have been overlooked. The bibliographer would appreciate having errors and omissions brought to his attention. Certain arbitrary procedures are inevitably required in any such compilation as this, but the information provided for each entry should be sufficient for identification. Notice of translations and revised editions of books is generally included under the original entry. Where articles or chapters are published in more than one place, the fact is usually noted in the entry covering the initial publication. For journal articles, the name of the publication, the volume number, date of issue, and page numbers are recorded in that order. Personal verifications have been made by the bibliographer in all but a few cases. It has seemed preferable to include the small number which could not be so verified, in order that this record may be as complete as possible. Over the years many persons have aided in the compilation and correction of this bibliography, but special thanks must go to Mr. Hocking, who has aided in many different ways and provided infor­ mation and items which might otherwise have been overlooked. He has personally checked the present edition. RICHARD C. GILMAN Carleton College N orth/ield, Minnesota February IS, I96S. I. "What is Number? " Intelligence: A Journal of Education. 18 (May IS, 18g8), 360-362. This article is a criticism of the Dewey-McClelland method of teaching number, written while Hocking was principal of School Number One, at Davenport, Iowa, during the interim between college work at Ames, Iowa, and his transfer to Harvard. In an article published in the Journal of Philosophy in Ig30, Hocking refers to this article as "my first philosophical essay." 2. A Union for Ethical Action. (with Howard Woolston) Privately printed, Ig04. 17 pp. This is a statement of principles and program for an ethical movement of young men who would "choose their life work with a sense of its significance for the general welfare and advance," and thus, in time, "create a nation morally significant in history." It was prepared by Hocking and a student colleague at Harvard. Hocking is the author of ''The Principles of Union," pp. 1-5, and co-author of "Plan of Organi­ zation," pp. 12-17. So far as can be determined, it is available only in the Andover-Harvard library of the Harvard Divinity School. 3. The Elementary Experience of Other Conscious Being in Its Relations to the Elementary Experience of Physical and Reflexive Objects. Cambridge, Typescript, Ig04. vi, 175 pp. This is Hocking's unpublished dissertation for the Ph.D. at Harvard, awarded in Ig04. A note above the title des­ cribes it as "Philosophy of Communication, Part I," thus announcing its central theme and indicating the author's further plans for research a.nd publication on that topic. The main thesis of this work, which might be restated as "How We Know Other Minds," is the original statement of Chapters XVII to XX of The Meaning of God in Human Experience. This dissertation is available only at the Widener Library, Harvard University. 4. "The Function of Science in Shaping Philosophic Method.
