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.

They are put forward on their intrinsic merits, and by these alone they must be judged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics If, however, we turn from the inspiring title to the writ ings themselves, illusions about the supernatural character of metaphysics tend to disappear. There is, so we are told by the Stagirite, a science which investigates exist ence as existence and whatever belongs to existence as such. It is identical with none of the sciences which are defined less generally. For none of these professedly considers existence as existence, but each, restricting itself to some aspect of it, investigates the general aspect only incidentally, as do the mathematical sciences. The em phasis is thus put by Aristotle on fact and on nature, but it is put on fact and nature as we attempt to View them with at once the least and with the greatest restriction: with the least restriction, because we are invited to View nature in the light of her most comprehensive characters; with the greatest restriction, because we are invited to view her stripped of her wonderful diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in Metaphysics Lastly, I wished to adapt the book especially to the Oxford or preceptorial method of instruction. Accord ing to this method, the text-book and the lectures in class should serve to give a general View of the subject but should play a far less important part than the stu dent's independent reading and study. The results of this reading and study should be expressed in a weekly, or better fortnightly, essay submitted to the preceptor and afterward discussed with him in an informal con ference held preferably in his private study and attended by not more than three or four students. This enables the teacher to deal with his students as individuals and to vary greatly the amount and kind of reading he as signs to each. Some will do not only more difficult reading than others but three or four times the amount of reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Metaphysics of Nature Classic Reprint written by Carveth Read and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysics of Nature Critical Philosophy, which takes its name from Kant, and which I shall usually call Metaphysics, is the study of the validity and adequacy of knowledge and belief. Positive Philosophy, with its premises, is, therefore, part of the Object of Metaphysics; but only a part: for Metaphysics has two branches, the Metaphysics of Nature and Science, and the Metaphysics of Ideals. The Ideals are expressed in Polity, Religion, Art, and Virtue; but these human Ideals and their metaphysical significance are beyond the scope of this volume. The Metaphysics of Nature, as Nature is presented to us in science and experience, is my subject; but Since the regions of science are certainly greater than I can explore, I Shall deal only with their most general principles, where they come nearest to philosophical interest, are least technical, and have now become an element of general culture; and it is a rule from which I never depart, not to attempt to solve a priori any problem, that can only be effectually treated by inductive methods. The criticism of knowledge and beliefs, then; and, of course, some extensions and interpretations of them, in order to give roundness and coherence to the whole; in fact, an essay toward the Prima Philosophia.

Download or read book General Metaphysics written by John Rickaby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Metaphysics There is in England a plain-spoken proverb which says, "Give a dog a bad name and hang him;" and there is, moreover, in England a bad name attaching to Metaphysics, with the result that our countrymen incline to treat that science after the manner in which they would treat the dog under a similar imputation. The ill-fame is in part due to ignorance, which not in every case produces the aggrandizing effect expressed by the words Omne ignotum pro magnifico, but sometimes, as in the present instance, acts in the contrary way, and has the vilifying effect signified in the adage, "Ignorance is the mother of prejudice." Metaphysics are supposed by the ignorant to be essentially what many writers have made them to be by abuse - a wild dance of unintelligible speculations in the air. Again, there is a prejudice against them because no immediate results in pounds, shillings, and pence come of Metaphysics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics: A Lecture But it must not be forgotten that the old is not always the false, nor the new always the true, as was illustrated in a notice once given of a book - perhaps one of the popular contributions to modern science - ia which notice it was remarked, by way of commenda tion, that the book in question had in it much that was new and also much that was true; and by way of eriti cism, that what was true in it was old and what was new in it was false. The only rational rule of mental pro cedure is to prove all things, whether new or old, and hold fast to that which is good. By the faithful asser tion of this catholic principle of judgment, we loyally venture to believe that our queen is destined to recover the crown and royal state of which she has been de prived, and to hold again her position in the universi ties of the world, less exclusively and pretentiously, no doubt, and yet with an empire subject to her restored Sceptre, embracing whole kingdoms which, under the old regime, were not yet discovered. The science of the present reveals, daily, that it is not self-sufficient, and that, just as a building of large and imposing dimen sions requires beneath its super-structure a foundation that sinks out of the view of the senses, so science rests on the transcendental and unseen realities of the world of metaphysics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Realistic Universe: An Introduction to Metaphysics This volume on metaphysics is the sequel of a volume on the theory of knowledge, entitled Truth and Reality, which was published in 1911. The two volumes furnish a survey of the field of general philosophy from the point of View of pragmatic realism. This attitude which the author has been champion ing for several years is an attempt to apply scientific method to philosophic problems. The term pragmatic is used in the sense which was first advocated by C. S. Peirce, and which is defined by the author in his own terms in Truth and Reality. As applied to metaphysics the pragmatic method means that we must judge the nature of reality, in its various grades and complexities, by the consequences to the realization of human purposes, instead of by a priori assumptions. Some may pre fer the older adjectives of empirical or critica but these terms seem definitely associated with certain historical doctrines, and a new term seems to be preferable in designating the scientific tendency of today. There is need in every age of retranslating the perennial problems of philosophy into terms of living human interest; and the author hopes in a meas ure to further this movement at the present time through these volumes. In A Realistic Universe the author has tried to make vital the fundamental problems of metaphysics in terms of our present thought-world, without the cant of the past, but with a deep sense of indebtedness to the masters of all time. While the book is intended primarily for the philosophic stu dent, the aim has been to make the style as clear and simple as the problems would permit. In the use of scientific material, an effort has been made to find sources which would be intel ligible to the layman rather than to make an appearance of erudition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Metaphysics In giving these Lectures to the world, it is due, both to the Author and to his readers, to acknowledge that they do not appear in that state of completeness which might 'have been expected, had they been prepared for publication by the Author himself. As Lectures on Metaphysics, - whether that term be taken in its wider or its stricter. Sense, - they are confessedly imperfect. The Author himself, adopting the Kantian division of the mental faculties into those of Knowledge, Feeling, and Donation, considers the Philosophy of Mind as compre hending, in relation to each of these, the three great subdivisions of Psychology, or the Science of the Phaenomena of Mind; Nomology. Or the Science of its Laws; and Ontology, or the Science of Results and Inferences.1 The term Illetap/zysics, in its strictest sense, is synonymous with the last of these subdivisions; while, in its widest.
