Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Greek Philosophy and Other Philosophical Remains, Vol. 1 of 2 German he highly valued, as his dedication to the poems amply testifies. Mr Ferrier's earliest public essay in metaphysical science consists of the papers, here republished, which. Under the title An Introduction to the Philosophy of Consciousness, he contributed to 'blackwood's Magazine' in 1838 and 1839, undertaking, as Sir William Hamilton said, the solution of problems hitherto unattempted in the humbler speculation of this country. For some years after this he wrote occasional articles in that Magazine, and must have become in the mean time well known to many per sons in Edinburgh as one who delighted in exploring questions that task powers of abstraction and subtle thought. In 1842 he was appointed Professor of Civil History in the University, an oflice at that time neither very laborious nor lucrative, and gene rally looked upon as likely to be a stepping-stone to some more important professorship. In session 1844-5, during Sir William Hamilton's severe illness, Mr Ferrier acted as his substitute, and taught the class of logic and metaphysics for some time; his zeal and success in the discharge of this task are warmly acknowledged by Sir William in a testimo nial given to Mr Ferrier when applying for a chair in another university. In 1845 he was elected Pro fessor of Moral Philosophy and Political Economy at St Andrews, and held that Office till his death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Greek Philosophy and Other Philosophical Remains, Vol. 1 of 2 These volumes contain the latest and some of the earliest philosophical writings of James Frederick Ferrier. For the last four or five years of his life he was in the habit of lecturing at St Andrews upon the early Greek Philosophy; his lectures were care fully written down before delivery, in many cases re-written, and throughout diligently revised. The repeated shocks of illness which, for some years before his death, gradually undermined his physical powers, probably rendered his treatment of the subject less perfect than it might otherwise have been, both as to extent in general and elaboration in detail. Nevertheless it is believed that these lectures, fragmentary as they are, contain enough of what is original and valuable to justify their publication. They will assuredly not make his memory less dear to all who knew and loved him living; they may possibly help to make it dear to all who love philosophy.

Download or read book Michael Oakeshott the Ancient Greeks and the Philosophical Study of Politics written by Eric Steven Kos and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a question fundamental for Oakeshott throughout his life, which is what we are doing when we read and discuss some memorable work in the history of political thought. The approach the book takes to Oakeshott's response to this question is of particular interest in that it explores in detail extensive notes he made on the beginnings of political philosophy in ancient Greece in an unpublished set of notebooks in which he recorded his thoughts on many different subjects throughout his life. In addition, the book gives contemporary significance to Oakeshott's interpretation of the history of political thought by using it to confront a series of contemporary challenges to the study of the history of political thought and to the study of the ‘great books.’ In particular, Oakeshott’s distinction between ‘various kinds or levels of political thought’ is carefully analyzed, as is also the extent of his agreement and disagreement with Quentin Skinner. In the concluding chapter, the author relates Oakeshott’s view of the nature of the history of political thought to his well-known description of philosophy as ‘conversation’, describing it as an introduction to that conversation.
