Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Philosophical Criticism The various contributors to a volume of Essays such as the present may naturally be supposed to be animated by some common purpose or tendency; and I have been requested to say a few words to indicate how far such a common purpose or tendency exists. In the first place, then, I have to state that the Essays have been written quite independently by their several authors, and that any agreement which exists among them is due, not to an intention to advocate any special philosophical theory, but rather to a certain community of opinion in relation to the general principle and method of philosophy. In other words, it may be described as an agreement as to the direction in which inquiry may most fruitfully be prosecuted, rather than a concurrence in any definite results that have as yet been attained by it. Such an agreement is consistent with great and even vital differences. For any idea that has a principle of growth in it, any idea that takes hold of man's spiritual life on many sides, is certain, as it developes, to produce wide divergencies, and even to call forth much antagonism and conflict between its supporters. A doctrine that passes unchanged from hand to hand, is by that very fact shown to have exhausted its inherent force; and those ideas have been the most fruitful both in religion and philosophy, which, accepted as a common starting-point, have given rise to the most far-reaching controversy.

Download or read book Noctes Orientales written by Straits Philosophical Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noctes Orientales: Being a Selection of Essays Read Before the Straits Philosophical Society Between the Years 1893 and 1910 The members of the Society were limited to fifteen in number, all of whom took it in turns to read an essay upon any subject selected by themselves in Literature, Science, or Art. This was followed by a criticism by another member, and a discussion on the essay and criticism succeeded, at the end of which the President summed up the discussion, and the essayist replied to any questions which had been the outcome of the criticism and discussion. It was always the custom for these meetings to be held on the second Friday or Saturday of each month, the members meeting and dining together before the paper was read. The essays and criticisms were afterwards typewritten, and copies of the volumes of essays were presented to the public libraries of Singapore and Penang, a copy also being kept as the property of the Society. The whole series consists of 17 volumes, containing 355 essays and criticisms. While the actual subjects selected by the writers was left to their choice, in the President's opening address he suggested certain limits in style and subject, which were accepted by the Society and adhered to. His suggestions Were as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Reviews and Addresses, Vol. 3: Theological; Philosophical The discussions in this volume may be regarded as the tentatives which gradually prepared the way for the more systematic expositions of the Types of Ethical Theory and the Study of Religion, and, in some measure, of The Seat of Authority in Religion. Reproached as I am with destructive criticism, I may perhaps be par doned for pointing out that my difference from the authors whom I here review consists, in every case, in my rejection of their negative positions, and my claim for an extension of the sphere of knowledge beyond the limits which they assign. So that' if, in relation to them, I were called a Gnostic, it would be a happier Opprobrium than the nickname of Agnostic now so freely given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reason and Romanticism: Essays in Literary Criticism In one sense our condition (but not only our condition, but the condition of the whole western world) is hopeless enough. We have carried criticism to the last degree of scepticism, even to the point where it becomes sceptical of itself, and have yet no new synthesis. We have destroyed our religion, and have left the emotions without a control. Emotions - which are individual, dis parate, and therefore contradictory - must be disciplined in a social community.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Literary Criticism of George Santayana Tragic Philosophy (1936) he is more tolerant of a poet who spoke to an age that needed no mastering living religion. It is not clear whether the later Santayana finds Shakespeare's secular ism adequate for the needs of great poetry; but as against the crit icism of T. S. Eliot, he defends Shakespeare for having stuck fast in the facts of life and he pits him against Dante in a way that one could hardly have anticipated from the early essay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Essays: An Anthology of Essays From Bacon to Lucas Definitions of the essay have nearly always been nu satisfactory, mainly because the term is eu all-inclusive one. It has been applied to compositions as varied as Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding, a rather long and abstruse philosophical treatise; Macaulay's historical sketches of Milton, Clive, Warren Hastings, and others; Pope's versified discussions of philosophy and literary criticism; and Pater's carefully reasoned analyses of problems in aesthetics. But the essay par excellence is a much more specific thing: it is variously called the fa miliar, the intimate, the personal, the medita tive, essay, and the adjective indicates its scope. Like the lyric in the realm of verse, it is a personal expression of the author's moods, emotions, or whims. Though it may be narrative or descriptive in part, these elements are subordinated to the author's reflections upon the background or the story he presents. It touches upon all topics of interest to human beings, from female ornament to the mystery of death. Yet, whatever the topic, the author is never in the didactic mood; he is more like a richly informed, meditative, kindly man of the world settling down for a half hour or so of suggestive talk with a friend. The familiar essay, in fine, is a written mon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Essays Reviews and Addresses Vol 4 written by James Martineau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Reviews, and Addresses, Vol. 4: Academical: Religious Religion, thus discharged from its hold on reality and reduced to the category of Symbol, is dislodged from its seat as the Supporting postulate of all the Sciences, and takes its place among the F ine Arts to be treated, by writers on the Belles Lettres, among the varieties of rhetorical trope and metaphor and personification, the literal base of which is always found in some aéstractz'on mentally distilled from concrete experience. Hence it is that philosophers and critics who touch upon the subject spend a curious ingenuity in substituting neuter abstracts for the ancient personal names of the Living God. To them, the t/zing denoted is 'the Infinite, ' 'the Eternal, ' 'the Unknowable, ' 'the stream of Tendency, ' The aggregate of Umizangeable Law'; and no longer the Creator and Inspirer' of men, the Father in heaven, ' the Judge of all the earth, ' the Holy One, ' the Searcher of hearts.' To me, I confess, Religion, -in its very essence, is a conscious relation between the human Personality and the Divine: and had I, from change of conviction, to relinquish this relation as imaginary, I should feel bound to surrender the vocabulary of religion to those who retained this essence, and to make the best I could of the unsanctified Ethics that remained. Respect for the vera cities of language would forbid me, by misuse of terms, to wear as a mask a cast of features no longer rendering the expression of my own. The criticisms which are applied to others in one or two of the following Addresses I should feel that I had justly brought upon myself, if to the dwarfed and altered thought I had tried to shrink the grand old language.

Download or read book Greek Literary Criticism Classic Reprint written by Wilfred Percy Johnston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Literary Criticism Isocrates is depicted by Plato as halting between the road of philosophy and the road of mere rhetoric. That description accurately gives his logical position in the development of Greek criticism. On the one hand he revolted against the shallowness of sophistic teaching, but on the other be confined himself to teaching by precept and example a purer rhetoric, without venturing on those higher grounds whence all literary criticism must ultimately take its spring. The beginnings of philosophic criticism properly so called are shrouded in obscurity. We know that Socrates, like his great disciple, was divided between a tendency to estimate poetry solely by the standard of moral utility, and a tendency to find in plastic art the manifestation of an abstract ideal beauty. We know too that he concerned himself with the problems of resemblance in art, of the imitation of mental moods, and of the apparent relativity of beauty. But we have only a statement of the problems-without any indication of the method of solution. We must look to Plato for a full statement of the difficulties, and the free development of the thought which could place those difficulties in their true li ht.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rudolf Eucken's Message to Our Age: An Appreciation and a Criticism IT was with no thought of publica tion that the essay on the teaching of Rudolf Eucken was written. Only the plea that it would afiord useful guidance to many who are asking what they ought to think of the sys tem of the distinguished philosopher has led us to consent to have it placed before the public. We trust that the reader will notice the relatively large space which is given to an apprecia tive exposition, and will not allow the criticism which is passed upon some phases of Professor Buchen's theological thinking to stand in the way of a high valuation of his philosophy proper.

Download or read book Intelligibility and the Philosophy of Nothingness written by Kitaro Nishida and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intelligibility and the Philosophy of Nothingness: Three Philosophical Essays Nishida has written extensively on philosophy and his complete works fill twelve volumes. The present work consists of trans lations of three of his studies that all belong to a comparatively late phase in his development. Nishida has said of himself: I have always been a miner of ore; I have never managed to refine it. The absence of a last systematic refinement may indeed be felt by the reader of the present selection. Still, the reader may be impressed by the strangely new experience of life here encountered, whether his heart is moved or his mind is made to think. Nishida uses Western concepts to express his philosophical re ection. The reader may not always perceive this, however, since Nishida's basic experience, with Zen at its center, cannot properly be formulated in Western terms and needs the structure of a new philosophical theory. The approach to his thought is, therefore, not easy. Yet we are convinced that Nishida's philosophy can open a new way towards the mutual understanding of East and West. In the hope of contributing to this mutual comprehension, upon which a new philosophy of mankind can be erected, we venture to offer the present publication to Western readers.
