Download or read book Discussions on Philosophical Questions Classic Reprint written by John Lafayette Girardeau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discussions on Philosophical Questions As to the Discussions themselves, their main purpose is to advance the Scottish school of philosophy. They are not intended to be a system in themselves. This book is really a supplement to Hamilton's Metaphysics, in connection with which it ought to be studied. It seeks to correct what is considered incorrect in Hamil ton; to develop more fully his system; and to bring it down to the present time - answering the obj eetions and refuting the errors of opposing systems in their latest expressions. These discussions were prepared by the author in his mature years, some of them having been written, and all of them having been revised by him since 1890. They fairly represent, therefore, his ability, his scholarship, and the final conclusions of his life of study.
