PLATO'S DOCTRINE OF IDEAS. 527 except to take note, in conclusion, of a statement made by Prof. Burnet which I cannot now discuss, but do not wish to seem to have overlooked: "If we are to understand Plato, we must start where he starts, with the reality of the intelligible ; if we start from the sensible world, the way to the Ideas is barred, and we become involved at once in profitless discussions as to ^wpto-/xos, the ' hypos- tatising of abstractions ' and the like ". To this I will only say that Psychology must see to it that ' starting where he starts ' is not offering translation for interpretation. J. A. STEWART.
