Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Historical Truth When it is considered how much of what is put forth as history is only falsehood under the name of history, the opinions of those who have pronounced history useless and mischievous may be found to have a portion of truth in them. But history and historical truth are two very different things. Whatever difference of opinion may exist respecting the value of history, there can be no difference of opinion about the value of historical truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Truth and Reality I have been unwilling to include so many pages on Pragmatism. The subject certainly does not occupy a corresponding space in my mind. But the reader perhaps will recognize that, having been in a manner forced here to write in self-defence, I am no longer free merely to consult my own wishes. He will find, I trust, that the discussion, if too long, throws light on some points of interest; and in any case the remedy remains in his power. On the other hand, I should be sorry if the examination of 'Radical Empiricism' were left unread. It is a satisfaction to me, when approaching the end of my own career, to note (whatever school or tendency may from time to time be in fashion) the increasing devotion amongst us to metaphysical inquiry. There has been, I think, a rise in the general level of English philosophical thought such as fifty years ago might well have seemed incredible. I am the more resigned to add that the best which I can now myself expect to do is to collect some other scattered writings, as well as perhaps to republish those early volumes which I can no longer hope to re-write.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature of Truth: An Essay The following Essay does not pretend to establish a new theory. Its object is to examine certain typical notions of truth, one or other of which - whether in the form of a vague assumption, or raised to the level of an explicit theory - has hitherto served as the basis of philosophical speculation. If I am not mistaken, every one of these typical notions and accredited theories of truth fails sooner or later to maintain itself against critical investigation. And I have tried, whilst exhibiting the nature and the grounds of their failure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Pursuit of Truth: On the Progress of Knowledge, and the Fundamental Principle of All Evidence and Expectation Few words will be necessary in introducing the present volume to the public. Some of those who did the author the honour of testifying a favourable estimate of a former Essay of his on the Formation of Opinions, expressed at the same time a regret that he had passed too lightly over one very important part of the subject; namely, the conduct of men in the application of their means and faculties to the investigation of truth. While he had explained more or less to their satisfaction in what manner the mind is affected by the circumstances in which it is placed, and the inevitable determination of its views by the evidence presented to it, they thought that he had indicated in too cursory a way the duties of mankind in the collection and examination of that evidence, the effect of which, when once brought before the understanding, is so completely uncontrollable by the will.

Download or read book Essays in American History Dedicated to Frederick Jackson Turner Classic Reprint written by Guy Stanton Ford and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in American History, Dedicated to Frederick Jackson Turner Spontaneous movements are hard to explain. Perhaps they need no explanation. Certainly a volume of essays on American history which in a large sense has written itself out of the love and respect of the authors for the scholar and friend to whom it is dedicated, needs but little by way of introduction to this generation of American students of history. To all others it preserves and transmits, by its very existence, that part of a scholar's work which is hardest to measure and record - his power to kindle his spirit and his love of scholarship in other men. Beyond the measure usually allotted to men of his own rank in scholarship and productive power, Professor Turner has manifested this most precious gift of the gods to the teachers of men. The office of president of the American Historical Association is a recognition by the larger constituency of American scholars in his chosen field of the permanent contributions of Professor Turner to the literature of that discipline. It has seemed to the narrower circle of those who, as students, have felt the stimulation of his personality, who have tasted at first hand of the fruits of his learning, and under his guidance have learned the methods of the craft, that there could be no more proper occasion than his presidency of this society and no more fitting form than this volume for acknowledging their obligations to him in whose workshop they learned the methods by which historical truth is sought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blunders and Forgeries: Historical Essays There is a well-known saying attributed to a great scholar: Verify your quotations. Quotations must not only be verified, but traced to their origin. The last Essay in this volume will show that writers of our own day, who take pride in accuracy, are perpetuating old calumnies because, while thev verify the correctness of their quotations from Strype, they are content to take on trust the references of Strype himself. A second rule, not less important to the historical or theological student, is: Consult. There is no such folly, writes Mr. Mozley, no such cause of utter breakdown and disgrace, as the silly pride of doing things quite by oneself, without assistance.1 In addition, then, to the various historical points recorded in my Index, there is a general maxim enforced throughout these Essays, and which is one of charity as well as of accuracy, a maxim I would willingly have printed on my title-page: consult and verify, verify and consult.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical, Historical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6 Nothing is more amusing or instructive than to ob serve the manner in which people who think themselves wiser than all the rest Of the world fall into snares which the simple good sense of their neighbours detects and avoids. It is one of the principal tenets of the Utilitarians that sentiment and eloquence serve only to impede the pursuit of truth. They therefore affect a quakerly plainness, or rather a cynical negligence and impurity, of style. The strongest arguments, when clothed in brilliant language, seem to them so much wordy nonsense. In the mean time they surren der their understandings, with a facility found in no other party, to the meanest and most abject sophisms, provided those sophisms come before them disguised with the externals of demonstration. They do not seem to know that logic has its illusions as well as rhet orie, that a fallacy may lurk in a syllogism as well as in a metaphor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Schoolmaster and Other Essays After a service of nearly twenty years in a large city high school, it is scarcely necessary for me to offer an apology for expressing the opinions on education contained in the first essay of this volume. My views may be considered old-fashioned and out of date; but they are, in fact, the ideals of a great school and their worth has been proved through a long period of seventy-five years. The real test of these ideals is to be found in the lives and careers of the young men who have received their training in the school. Education to be worth while must be established on a broad and liberal foundation, and as Dean West truthfully says: "Like civil liberty, the higher liberal knowledge is always in peril and always worth fighting for."

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Critical Essays, Vol. 1 of 2 I'r would be thought strange indeed, if there should exist a large, a'memorable section of history, trav ersed by many a scholar with various objects, reviewed by many a reader in a spirit of anxious scrutiny, and yet to this hour misunderstood; erroneously appro ciated; its tendencies mistaken, and its whole mean ing, import, value, not so much inadequately - as falsely, ignorantly, perversely - deciphered. Primd facie, one would pronounce this impossible. Never theless it is a truth; and it is a solemn truth; and what gives to it this solemnity, is the mysterious mean ing, the obscure hint of a still profounder meaning in the background, which begins to dawn upon the eye when first piercing the darkness now resting on the subject. Perhaps no one are or segment, detached from the total cycle of human records, piomises so much beforehand so much instruction, so much gratification to curiosity, so much Splendor, so much depth of interest, as the great period the systole and diastole, flux and reflux of the Western Roman Empire.
