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.

This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the History of Modern Philosophy There are at the present time accessible to the English reader many excellent and comprehensive histories of philoso phy. And the only reason for treating the subject again has arisen from the h0pe that a more simple treatment would prove useful to those readers unfamiliar with the technicalities of recent philosophical systems. For various reasons the bistori cal side serves as perhaps the only broad and permanently valuable approach to the whole field of philosophy, while it is a firm conviction with many that some slight acquaintance with the development of philosophical problems is indispensable to their appreciation. This work is intended as an introduction to the subject, and is not the expression of a critical or recon structive attitude; it makes no attempt to trace the logico genetic development of modern thought, nor does it pretend to consider every aspect of historical development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Modern Philosophy, Vol. 1: From the Renaissance to the Present Bessarion. 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. The chief work of Bessarion is entitled In Calumniatorem Platonis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern European Philosophy: The History of Modern Philosophy, Psychologically Treated With this Century, then, we begin our his toric account of Modern European Philosophy, and embrace in it three supreme men, Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz. Looked at through the intervening Centur these three are seen to be the loftiest peaks thought, though between them and around them lie lesser heights which are likewise mountainous. The latter, however, we shall have to pass by in the present survey, and concentrate our attention upon those who express the three distinctive phases of the phi losophy of the Seventeenth Century, and Show its process not only in their systems of thought but also in their lives and characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Modern Philosophy, Vol. 1: A Sketch of the History of Philosophy From the Close of the Renaissance to Our Own Day The appearance of a new representation of an important period in the History of Philosophy will naturally give rise to the ques tion as to what view of philosophy is regarded by the author as fundamental, and what is the significance, and what the value which he ascribes to its history. To which I answer that the whole aim of the studies of which the publication of this book denotes the provisional conclusion has been to shed light on the question as to what philosophy really is. As we learn to know a man from his biography, so also we must be able to learn to know a science from its history. And it is the more natural that we should adopt this path, since experience is continually showing us that, within the sphere of philosophy, contending views are advanced, each one of which claims to be valid, so that there is. No one exposition of philosophy to which we can point as developing an exhaustive conception of it. It is natural, therefore, that we should here, as within the sphere of religion, employ the comparative method. The history of philosophy treats of the attempts which have been made by individual thinkers to discuss the ultimate problems of know ledge and of life. It will be a result of no small importance, therefore, if we can show clearly what are the problems with which philosophy deals, how these problems have presented themselves at different times, and what, in each case, were the conditions which determined the different statements of the problems, and the attempts at their solution. If such a result can be approximately attained, the study of the history of philosophy will be of no small importance for the future development of philosophy itself.

Its employment is limited, its bounds narrow, its existence precarious, inferior, subordinate. Well! Here again philosophy is philosophy; and scarcely has it fortified itself by time, scarcely is the hand which was over it removed, or become less weighty, when philosophy resumes its natural course, and produces again the four different systems which it has already produced both in India and in Greece.

This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Introduction to Modern Philosophy Uttermost. Nevertheless, philosophy has evolved for itself a technicality in stand point and phraseology which certainly ad mits of simplification, and many of the more or less artificial difficulties confront ing the beginner, which grow out of this, may be removed without any real loss. Perhaps an excuse should be made for the positive character of the conclusions which are here set forth. I certainly do not wish to appear dogmatic, or to claim for my Opinions any greater value than they possess. But it has seemed to me that the danger of leaving too strong an impression of the authoritative nature of the particular conclusions advanced is more than counterbalanced by the Opposite dan ger, in case one tries to be too objective in his tone, of leaving no unified impression at all. An introductory treatment of philo sophical problems which does not lead up to positive and constructive results is apt, I think, to be unsatisfactory, especially to the reader who has no previous acquaint ance with the subject, and whose interest has to a considerable extent still to be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Modern Philosophy in France A book ought to speak for itself, and the brief est prefaces are the best. Accordingly, I shall restrict myself to the few words indispensable to the purpose of indicating the object and the char acter of this work. Given the intention of writing a History of Modern Philosophy in France, it was natural to begin it with Descartes, since by general consent Descartes opened a period in the history of philo sophic thought, and this not simply for France, but for the world at large.

This definite point of view has made it necessary to keep certain matters clearly in mind. As few technical terms as possible have been used and those which were considered necessary have been defined either in the introductory chapter or later on in the book. Again, the writer has striven to avoid two difficulties which might be urged against an "Introduction," - stress on an array of unrelated facts and too broad a point of view. The minute details of the various philosophical systems have been omitted as far as possible, and for this reason many features have been neglected which in a more subjective and critical account might be considered of importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Philosophy Having composed and published brief text-books on Logic, Metaphysics and Ethics, which have obtained a considerable circulation in Colleges and Academies, the author of this little volume has frequently been urged to complete the series by adding an equally brief synop sis of the History of Philosophy. Many learned works on this subject are before the public; but they are mostly in foreign languages or written in a spirit alien, if not hostile, to Catholic thought. And yet, as the Catholic Church stands alone in its permanent strength and grandeur among the hundreds of religions in the world, so too its Philosophy is preeminent among the countless speculations of ancient and modern times. There is, however, this difference, that the Church's infallibility in teaching religion is a supernatural endow ment, given to it and maintained in it by its Divine Founder, Jesus Christ; whereas Catholic philosophers, like all others, derive their doctrines directly from hu man reason, but they are usually guarded from impor tant errors by their knowledge of Revelation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTHORITATIVE AND ACCESSIBLE, THIS LANDMARK WORK IS THE FIRST SINGLE-VOLUME HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY SHARED FOR DECADES 'A cerebrally enjoyable survey, written with great clarity and touches of wit' Sunday Times The story of philosophy is an epic tale: an exploration of the ideas, views and teachings of some of the most creative minds known to humanity. But there has been no comprehensive history of this great intellectual journey since 1945. Intelligible for students and eye-opening for philosophy readers, A. C. Grayling covers with characteristic clarity and elegance subjects like epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, and the philosophy of mind, as well as the history of debates in these areas, through the ideas of celebrated philosophers as well as less well-known influential thinkers. The History of Philosophy takes the reader on a journey from the age of the Buddha, Confucius and Socrates. Through Christianity's dominance of the European mind to the Renaissance and Enlightenment. On to Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre, then the philosophical traditions of India, China and the Persian-Arabic world. And finally, into philosophy today.
