This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 528 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy, Vol. 1 of 2: And of the Principal Philosophical Questions Discussed in His Writings In our own country and in our own time, without incessant reference, express or tacit, to his treatment of them. On all the subjects on which he touched, he is either one of the most powerful allies of what I deem a sound philosophy, or (more frequently) by far its most formi dahle antagonist; both because he came the latest, and wrote with a full knowledge of the flaws which had been detected in his predecessors, and because he was one of the ablest, the most clear-sighted, and the most candid. W'henever any Opinion which he deliberately expressed is contended against, his form of the Opinion, and his arguments for it, are those which especially require to be faced and carefully appreciated; and it being thus impossible that any fit discussion of his topics should not involve an estimate of his doctrines, it seems worth while that the estimate should be rendered as complete as practicable, by being extended to all the subjects on which he has made, or on which he is believed to have made, any important contribution to thought.

Download or read book Dissertations on Leading Philosophical Topics Classic Reprint written by Alexander Bain and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dissertations on Leading Philosophical Topics I have here reproduced in full, and with almost no change, the principal articles to which reference was made in the Preface to the Fourth Edition of The Emotions and the Will. They contain, with some little difference in statement, my latest views on such of those debated issues as were not adequately expounded or not given in final shape in either of my two volumes on Psychology. Certain of the articles here reproduced do not essentially belong to the Psychology of the last volume, and are not in the list referred to in the Addenda to the Fourth Edition. Perhaps, the most distinctive of these last is that entitled Mills Theory of the Syllogism. To the articles reproduced from Mind, I have added a paper "On the Pressure of Examinations," part of which appeared in Criticisms of a Protest against Examinations, issued by Mr. Auberon Herbert, in 1888. This, though not directly psychological, is germane to the subject, and may have interest for the student of philosophy. The remaining Essay, on "The Scope of Anthropology and its Relation to the Science of Mind," was a paper read to the British Association, at the Aberdeen Meeting, in 1885.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spectrum of Truth The following pages have no pretension to be a history of philosophy, or to discuss or appraise the merits of different theories. All that is aimed at is to provide a conspectus within the smallest possible compass, of the characteristic attitude of the chief philosophical systems towards the great speculative questions with which philosophy is directly concerned. Recent, and regrettable theological controversies have turned mainly upon certain great questions that fall strictly within the province of philosophy, and some simple apparatus such as is here provided is a necessary equipment for those who have made no special study of the subjects, but desire to form an Opinion of the merits of the questions at issue. And it is hoped that the condensed form of this slight sketch may be of use even to students of philosophy by bringing into prominence certain points of agreement and harmony which are for the most part overlaid and obscured by lengthy disquisitions, but which show clearly in a mere map of the country.

Download or read book The Problems of Philosophy written by John Grier Hibben and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This philosophy book is a perfect introduction for anyone interested in the subject. The central theme of the book is discussion of the big questions (the "Problems" of the title) which philosophy strives to answer. There are other philosophy books with similar titles, including an identically titled book by the famous philosopher Bertrand Russell (also available from Forgotten Books and well worth a look), but this one contains arguably the best introduction to the broadest range of philosophical thought. John Grier Hibben, was broadly educated and seemed to excel at anything he turned his hand to. He graduated as a mathematician, earned a living teaching French and German and was for many years a widely respected preacher. After gaining a PhD he taught philosophy at Princeton and later became its president. The first two chapters of this book discuss the nature and value of philosophy. In the words of Hibben, "Philosophy is concerned with what is, in contrast with that which seems to be." The grand Problem then is to "discover the nature of reality." The other chapters cover discussions of existence, origins, the soul (whether as in the religious meaning or the sum of a consciousness), knowledge, logic, ethics (and it's sub-Problem, politics, or human relations) and finally of art and aesthetics. These are all covered in detail and with a great explanation, comparison and discussion of the different schools of thought, which is what makes this book so fascinating as an introduction to philosophy. If this book has a flaw it is that the different forms of religious thought are given too much attention in comparison to other philosophies, which may not be so interesting for the less religious times in which we now live. There is still plenty here for even the most ardent atheist however. The beauty of the writing is that even though the author is obviously deeply intelligent and knowledgeable about his topic the text remains accessible and the explanations clear and jargon-free.

Download or read book Problems in Philosophy Classic Reprint written by John BASCOM and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Philosophy This volume may seem to be constructed on the idea of gathering up the fragments that nothing may be lost. This precept, however, wise as it often is, does not express the law of production in the present case. A few points in philosophy invited more clear or more thorough state ment. This labor I chose to undertake directly and briefly, rather than to attempt it as a part of a more ex tended and systematic work. One evil in philosophy is the accumulation of fruitless discussions. A few positions fortunately taken may be easily lost in their practical value by the extended treatises which accompany them, traversing old ground with no sufl'icient reward. Philoso phy, above most topics, calls for an explicit statement of a few fundamental principles, and a pushing of inquiry in reference to them, till some satisfactory conclusion is reached. The present volume aims to make, in the most direct way, a contribution on the more obscure topics of philosophy. What it has to say is not, taken collectively, extended, and may be still farther reduced by the reader by confining his attention to the one or more subjects which may appeal directly to him. Only one of these discussions - that on liberty - has appeared elsewhere, and that essay has been somewhat modified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval Philosophy But medieval philosophy deserves attention and study not only for historical reasons, because it forms an integral part of the history of European philosophy, but also for its own sake. Although the approach and the setting may be different in different periods, the same, or at least similar, philosophical problems inevitably tend to recur. And even though philosophy is not equivalent to the accumulation of particular facts or items of knowledge which increase in number as the years go on, one is not entitled to assume in advance that the medieval discussions of philosophical problems are worthless, simply be cause they took place so many centuries ago. Some philosophers would, indeed, say that the methods and aims of the thirteenth-century metaphysicians were mistaken. But that, whether true or false, is a philosophic assertion which is itself Open to question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Philosophy of Education 1920 written by Daniel Bell Leary and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy of Education, 1920: A Survey of Fundamentals, Topics, Questions, References and Bibliographies for Group-Discussion This course in the Philosophy of Education is intended to follow out the educational leads which were simply touched upon in the Syllabus of Sociology. The latter course considered the nature, evolution and problems of society in a more general and less detailed sense than is the purpose of the present outline. It is here intended to analyze more thoroughly and fundamentally the present nature, the process of growth and the problems of society in their relation to the educational process considered as the basic element in the whole situation. The word 'Fundamentals' in the sub-title, is meant to indicate that considerable emphasis has been placed, throughout, on the presuppositions of an educational theory. Much space has, therefore, been devoted to an analysis of experience, a consideration of its various organized forms, original human nature and its significance, the nature and evolution of society, and the meaning of the concept 'progress' as applied to society and human activity. Section E. on the school, sums up these matters for concrete situations. In this preliminary study of the field direct positive statement of conclusions has not been made and. from the nature of the method used and its purpose, such was impossible. It is the intention of the outline to offer the student material for successively larger and broader generalizations about society, the individual and education, each Topic being based, in the main, on the preceding, the whole leading to a final summary of facts and theory, consistent with the nature of experience considered as a significant unity. A word about the bibliographies may not be out of place here. In compiling both the larger Bibliography at the end of the Syllabus, as well as the shorter lists of selected references preceding each section. my intention has been to include not only those books which are in a sense, standard and immediately germane to the subject, but also certain more general and less specifically educational readings, the significance of which consists not only in their contact with the subject at a given point but also in their value as introductions to closely allied and fundamentally important fields of thought. No text-book is called for: instead, references to diverse points of view and conflicting evidence are assigned for each Topic, and the class-hour will be given over to a discussion intended to sift from the evidence in question that which is pertinent to the subject and the point of view involved. The student's "recitation" will consist in his active participation in this class discussion, and every student will be expected to contribute his share. I am glad to express my sincere obligation to Professor William Heard Kilpatrick of Teachers' College. Columbia University, to whom I owe much for both method and inspiration, and it has been my effort to approach, in some measure, both the clarity of his thought and the significance of his teaching.
