Elliot, and Lankester in his preface, seek to rebut specific components of Henri Bergson's philosophical thought, specifically those which they consider counterfactual according to the scientific knowledge of the time. Most of Elliot's response is directed towards Bergson's books Matter and Memory, and Creative Evolution, and the critique addresses Bergson's concepts of time, consciousness and life force, and instinct, and he rebuts these concepts mostly within a materialist perspective. Contents include The Philosophy of Professor Bergson; Reasons for Dissenting from the Philosophy of Professor Bergson; The Progress of Philosophy; The Automaton Theory; The Origin of Fallacies; The True Province of Philosophy.

XX [From the introduction] THE BOOK AND THE AUTHORS. A very great artist, two famous novelists, and a fine journalist have collaborated to produce a book which is not only a bitter and exciting indictment of war and fascism, but a literary and artistic achievement of the utmost importance. For the first time in history, a great artist, who is also a great soldier, has not only seen war, but experienced it, and embodied the experiences in a magnificent series of drawings which challenge the famous and powerful war plates of Goya. The four men who have made the book are bound together by a warm friendship, a common experience, and loyalty to a common cause. Quintanilla himself has seen his country destroyed by civil war, and his own famous murals shattered by Franco's guns. He has fought in most major engagements of the war, and personally led the attack on the Montaña barracks that saved Madrid for the government. Hemingway has known Spain, loved it, and written of it for many years, but here he writes not only of Spain in turmoil, but of the life of a man who is his friend. Elliot Paul knows Spain intimately, and already, in The Life And Death Of A Spanish Town, has written one of the really fine books of recent years. Jay Allen, for 10 years the Chicago Tribune correspondent in Europe, of which five years were spent in Spain, has a thorough knowledge of the country and a great friendship for its people. This book is a must, not only for artists and collectors, but for everyone who is interested in what is happening to our civilization. Quintanilla, Luis [drawings] (ilustrador).…
