Schiller's ideas upon the type problem, including letters on the aesthetic education of man, a discussion on naïve and sentimental poetry; 3. The Apollonian and the Dionysian; 4. The type problem in the discernment of human character, including general remarks upon Jordan's types and special description and criticism of Jordan's types; 5. The problem of types in poetry including Spitteler's characterization of types and a comparison with Goethe's Prometheus; 6. The type problem in psychiatry; 7. The problem of typical attitudes in aesthetics; 8. The problem of types in modern philosophy, including William James's types and the characteristic pairs of opposites; 9. the type problem in biography; 10. the extraverted and introverted types; and definitions.
