Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Philosophy: Comprising Logic and Ontology, or General Metaphysics Second: It was judged best, also, for the interests of learn ers in general, to omit the discussion of the modes and figures Of the syllogism; for, in practice they are not attended to, even bv those who actually argue in form, the simple rules of demonstration sufficing for all practical purposes, and being all that IS even really useful in the strictest argumentation. On the other hand, it was deemed expedient to introduce some matters that pertain to branches of Philosophy, whose full treatment is appropriate to another volume; e. G., certain sub jects which strictly belong to Psychology, Cosmology and Natural Theology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Philosophy: Comprising Logic and Ontology, or General Metaphysics It is not yet one month since we issued the first Edition of "Hill's Philosophy," and such has been the demand for the work, that a second Edition is required. Very favorable notices have already been given of the work by several periodicals, and able judges, whose verdict we know to be of the highest authority, have pronounced the book a true and trusty friend through the intricacies of Philosophy. We rejoice at this success, because it ensures the completion of the whole work, including Ethics, and gives us every reason to believe that we shall soon have, in our language, a Manual of Philosophy, for students and for the general reader, equal to the admirable Latin works, which have hitherto been almost the only pure sources, of Philosophical knowledge. The Author has taken advantage of the opportunity offered by the preparation of this Edition, to revise his work and thus render it more acceptable to the student.

Download or read book Eternal Harmony written by Dr. Ron R. Rickards and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has modern physics proven that the universe was created by absolutely nothing? Absolutely not! Have modern cosmology and Darwinian evolution eliminated the need for God? Absolutely not! Have the new atheists demonstrated the irrelevance of theology and philosophy in the pursuit of Truth? Not even close! The first of the four-volume Eternal Harmony series, The Unity of Truth in God demonstrates decisively the powerful convergence of God-made religion and genuine science as well as faith and reason in the unity of truth in the one, true, triune God of the Holy Bible. The Tower of Modern Scientism is concurrently demolished so that not one scientistic stone is left standing upon another. Can the truths of modern science and God-made religion be brought into Eternal Harmony? Most definitely! Are human life and the cosmos meaningful and purposeful? Yes! Can you personally inherit eternal life in the new heavens and the new earth and be with God Himself? Absolutely! Join physicist Dr. Ron R. Rickards on a sacred journey up the Mountain of Truth, which begins on common scientific and religious ground and ends with the most exalted truths of modern science and God-made religion coexisting peacefully in Eternal Harmony. By incorporating the lyric sheets to a dozen original songs, The Unity of Truth in God engages the reader as all human beings truly deserve to be engaged: in the fullness of our humanitythat is, in heart, soul, and mind. The soundtrack is available through Amazon, iTunes and other popular outlets.
Download or read book New Ways of Ontology Classic Reprint written by Nicolai Hartmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Ways of Ontology It goes without saying that in as summary a discussion as the present one we cannot do justice to medieval metaphysics. But here our concern is not with medieval metaphysics but with contemporary issues. For these, it is imperative that we achieve a clear view of certain fundamental traits of the onto logical views which were at the basis of that metaphysics. We must learn from the mistakes of these old ontological views, so that any and every attempt at a new ontology may dissociate itself unambiguously and consciously from all such errors. The critical epistemology of the modern age from Descartes down to Kant did not succeed in completely replacing the old ontology with a new doctrine of equal value. But it had so thoroughly destroyed its presuppositions that a metaphysics erected on the old basis was no longer possible. The Critique of Pure Reason, in which the work of thorough houseclean ing reached its end, marks a historical boundary beyond which ontological thinking all but vanishes. This is noteworthy, be cause the Kantian critique was actually not leveled against the foundations of the old ontology but rather against the specula tive-rational metaphysics which had been built upon it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Unorthodox Conception of Being: A Synthetic Philosophy of Ontology The first draft of this work was written in the latter part of the nineteenth century. During the decade or more since its inception a wider reading has revealed to the author that, although the ideas herein expressed are independent, they, with few exceptions, have already been expressed by others. This might be taken as demonstrating that "There is nothing new under the sun," but this is true only in part. There certainly are new forms. Not only new forms in the arrangement of the material, but also new forms of the expression of ideas. Although each idea embraced in the composition of a conception might be old, yet a different combination of these ideas would give a philosophy of existence differing in many respects from any philosophy heretofore given and possibly more nearly in accord with the actual facts of Being. We grant that the ordinary material elements are not new; that they have been known for centuries, and have existed from infinity; yet combinations of these elements are constantly being made, giving us compounds that in all probability have not before existed on this earth.

Download or read book Ontology Or the Theory of Being written by Peter Coffey and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hoped that the present volume will supply a want that is really felt by students of philosophy in our universities—the want of an English text-book on General Metaphysics from the Scholastic standpoint. It is the author's intention to supplement his Science of Logic1 and the present treatise on Ontology, by a volume on the Theory of Knowledge. Hence no disquisitions on the latter subject will be found in these pages: the Moderate Realism of Aristotle and the Schoolmen is assumed throughout. In the domain of Ontology there are many scholastic theories and discussions which are commonly regarded by non-scholastic writers as possessing nowadays for the student of philosophy an interest that is merely historical. This mistaken notion is probably due to the fact that few if any serious attempts have yet been made to transpose these questions from their medieval setting into the language and context of contemporary philosophy. Perhaps not a single one of these problems is really and in substance alien to present-day speculations. The author has endeavoured, by his treatment of such characteristically “medieval” discussions as those on Potentia and Actus, Essence and Existence, Individuation, the Theory of Distinctions, Substance and Accident, Nature and Person, Logical and Real Relations, Efficient and Final Causes, to show that the issues involved are in every instance as fully and keenly debated—in an altered setting and a new terminology—by recent and living philosophers of every school of thought as they were by St. Thomas and his contemporaries in the golden age of medieval scholasticism. And, as the purposes of a text-book demanded, attention has been devoted to stating the problems clearly, to showing the significance and bearings of discussions and solutions, rather than to detailed analyses of arguments. At the same time it is hoped that the treatment is sufficiently full to be helpful even to advanced students and to all who are interested in the “Metaphysics of the Schools”. For the convenience of the reader the more advanced portions are printed in smaller type.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intension and Decision: A Philosophical Study In traditional logic and in most modern theories, a term is regarded as having one and only one intension just as it is regarded as having one and only one extension or designatum. This traditional point of view has obscured the important fact that there are many different kinds of intensions to be discriminated carefully from one another. Traditional theories have failed to make such discrimination in part because they provide no clear condition under which two intensions differ or are the same. Each term (of the proper kind) has a unique intension, according to those theories, but precisely how this intension differs from the intension of some other term is not clearly indicated. The intension of 'man' is supposed to differ from the intension of 'animal', but just how we are not told. Also intensions are usually regarded as in some sense sui generis, and hence how they involve (or consist of or are generated out of) other kinds of entities is not considered. It is not the deliberate aim of this book to discriminate as many kinds of intensions as possible. It will turn out, however, in the course of our inquiry that there are as a matter of fact many such kinds with of course some family resemblance. In particular there is the family of objective intensions, which depend only or at least primarily upon logical and semantical features of the language at hand. These are objective in the sense that they in no way involve the person (who uses the language) or a time. As contrasted with these there is the family of subjective intensions of terms, which depend not only upon logical features of the language but also upon the particular user or users of the terms as well as upon the time or times at which they are used. Within each family there are many branches, and indeed we shall find ourselves somewhat surprised at the plethora of kinds of intensions we shall encounter. Also we shall meet with entities which are very like intensions or which can be used to represent or mirror them for some purposes, but which are not in any proper sense intensions themselves. Such entities we shall call quasi-intensions. Here also there will be many types to distinguish, and the quasi-intensions will turn out to be every whit as important and interesting as intensions themselves.
