Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biographical History of Philosophy In the year 1886 I gave an address on "Books and Reading" at the Working Men's College, which in the following year was printed as one of the chapters in my "Pleasures of Life." In it I mentioned about one hundred names, and the list has been frequently referred to since as my list of "the hundred best books." That, however, is not quite a correct statement. If I were really to make a list of what are in my judgment the hundred greatest books, it would contain several - Newton's "Principia," for instance - which I did not include, and it would exclude several - the "Koran," for instance - which I inserted in deference to the judgment of others. Again, I excluded living authors, from some of whom - Ruskin and Tennyson, Huxley and Tyndall, for instance, to mention no others - I have myself derived the keenest enjoyment; and especially I expressly stated that I did not select the books on my own authority, but as being those most frequently mentioned with approval by those writers who have referred directly or indirectly to the pleasure of reading, rather than as suggestions of my own. I have no doubt that on reading the list, many names of books which might well be added would occur to almost any one. Indeed, various criticisms on the list have appeared, and many books have been mentioned which it is said ought to have been included. On the other hand no corresponding omissions have been suggested. I have referred to several of - the criticisms, and find that, while 300 or 400 names have been proposed for addition, only half a dozen are suggested for omission. Moreover, it is remarkable that not one of the additional books suggested appears in all the lists, or even in half of them, and only about half a dozen in more than one. But while, perhaps, no two persons would entirely concur as to all the books to be included in such a list, I believe no one would deny that those suggested are not only good, but among the best. I am, however, ready, and indeed glad, to consider any suggestions, and very willing to make any changes which can be shown to be improvements.

That of showing by Argument, what History shows by Facts, - that to attempt to construct a science of Metaphysics is to attempt an impossibility.

Download or read book A Student s History of Philosophy Classic Reprint written by Arthur Kenyon Rogers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of Philosophy These concepts, then, or notions which we frame to serve as shorthand expressions for certain facts, or aspects of reality, come to us with so little labor on our part, that we often are tempted to regard them as self-evident, and certain to present themselves as the manifest points of view whenever men stop to think. But a little examina tion will show that this is a mistake. We are the heir of all the ages in our intellectual life, and so can utilize the results of those who have gone before us. In their 'origin, however, these results were reached in no such simple way as their obviousness to us would seem to suggest, but were wrought laboriously with pain and travail. It is a com mon experience, after we have arrived at the solution of some problem that has been engaging us, to be struck with wonder that we should so long have been baffled by it, when in reality the matter is so plain yet, as a matter of fact, it did bafl'le us. Now every point of view from which man regards the world, is thus at some period of his history a hard-won acquisition. It may stand for a truth - an obvious truth even - when it comes to be recog nized. But the mere existence of a truth is nothing to us, until we have brought it into connection with the current of our own experience and knowledge; and this requires special circumstances and conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Greek Philosophy The main purpose which I have had in View in writing this book has been to present an account of Greek philosophy which, within strict limits of brevity, shall be at once authentic and interesting - autfientz°c, as being based on the original works themselves, and not on any secondary sources; interesting, as presenting to the ordinary English reader, in language freed as far as possible from technicality and abstruseness, the great thoughts of the greatest men of antiquity on questions of permanent significance and value. There has been no attempt to shirk the really philosophic problems which these men tried in their day to solve; but I have endeavoured to show, by a sympathetic treat ment of them, that these problems were no mere wars of words, but that in fact the philosophers of twenty-four centuries ago were dealing with exactly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Modern Philosophy The subject matter of the history of philosophy consists of the efforts which individual thinkers have made to explain or perchance to solve the ultimate problems Of knowledge and of being. Modern philosophy - i. E. The philosophy of the last three centuries - has been specially concerned with four great problems. These problems, moreover - as I have Shown in my Philosophic Problems (eng. Tr. 190 5)-are intimately related to each other, and there likewise exists a most significant analogy between them, in that the antithesis of continuity and discontinuity is of fundamental importance in each of them, except that it manifests itself under different forms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arthur Schopenhauer: His Life and His Philosophy The little volume which owes its existence to these considerations can advance no lofty preten sions either from the biographical or the critical point of view. No new biographical material of importance can be offered now, and there is every reason to believe that none such exists. We must accordingly depend in the main upon the concise memoir by Gwinner - a model of condensation, good taste, and graphic power - supplemented by the heterogeneous and injudicious, yet in many respects invaluable, mass of detail put forth by the philosopher's immediate disciples, Lindner and Frauenstadt. Relying on these sources of in formation, we have endeavoured to portray for English readers one of the most original and pie turesque intellectual figures of our time; with obvious analogies to Johnson, Rousseau, and Byron, nor yielding in interest to any of them.

Bessarion was a more temperate admirer of Plato, though he too combated (discreetly) the doctrines of Aristotle, as maintained by George of Trebizond. He considered Plato more in accord than Aristotle with Chris tian dogma. He rejected the Platonic doctrines of the pre-existence of the soul, the plurality of gods, and the world-soul.
