Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of the Mind, Vol. 4 In this argument, I have opposed to the actions which we feel immediately as virtuous, the utility only of inani mate matter, because this furnishes a more striking contrast; but the same argument, as you cannot fail to have perceived, might have been extended to many qualities of the mind itself, in all those varieties of original genius, or of the rich endowments of science, that have progressively raised us from barbarism to civilization, with an influence on the happiness of the world, to which it is scarcely possible inor hume's system.

Download or read book Lectures on Metaphysics and Logic Vol 1 of 4 Classic Reprint written by William Hamilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Metaphysics and Logic, Vol. 1 of 4 The following Lectures on Metaphysics constitute the first portion of the Biennial Course which the lamented Author was in the habit of delivering during the period of his occupation of the Chair of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh. 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 Conation, considers the Philosophy of Mind as com prehending, in relation to each of these, the three great subdivisions of Psychology, or the Science of the Phaeno mena of Mind; Nomology, or the Science of its Laws; and Ontology, or the Science of Results and Inferences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Metaphysics and Logic, Vol. 2 of 4 On this doctrine, a faculty is nothing more than a general term for the causality the mind has of origin ating a certain class of energies; a capacity only a general term for the susceptibility the mind has of being affected by a particular class of emotions. All mental powers are thus, in short, nothing more than names determined by various orders of mental phaeno mena. But as these phaenomena differ from, and re semble, each other in various respects, various modes of classification may, therefore, be adopted, and, conse quently, various faculties and capacities, in different views, may be the result.

Download or read book Journey into Philosophy written by Stan Baronett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overriding rationale behind this book is a desire to enrich the lives of college students by introducing them to the practice of philosophical thought in an accessible and engaging manner. The text has over one hundred classical and contemporary readings that facilitate studying each philosophical issue from a variety of perspectives, giving instructors the opportunity to choose a set of readings that matches the individual needs of each class. It includes many selections by philosophers whose works are often ignored or underrepresented in other introductory texts. The initial reading, "The Role of Philosophy," is a relevant, clear, and absorbing introduction to the discipline of philosophy. It uses everyday life situations to give students a solid foothold before they journey into specific philosophical topics. In addition, every section of the book has its own special introduction that connects each topic to students’ personal lives. The surrounding narrative is designed to be conversational and comprehensible. Special features include a section on the role of logic, and writing a philosophy paper, two useful tools for approaching and analyzing philosophical writing for students who are new to philosophy. The book is accompanied by a companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/Baronett), with many helpful features, including (for students) review questions for all readings in the book, videos, and 66 related entries taken from the student-friendly Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy and (for instructors) 2,500 questions and answers."

Download or read book Sophie s World written by Jostein Gaarder and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work sets out Austin's conclusions in the field to which he directed his main efforts for at least the last ten years of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philomathic Journal and Literary Review, Vol. 4: Jan., 1826 It is here that Revelation lays the foundation of morals. I am aware that, at this stage of the discussion, I can assume nothing from Revelation as such; but I professed, at the com mencement of these lectures, to give it equal bearing on moral questions with other systems of ethics. Let it, then, be. Heard in respect of the basis of morals - that basis is Relation, and in its first and most distinguished form, as associating man with the Deity. It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. The spring of moral obligation rises here. It was pointed out by Paul, at Athens, to the philosophers who surrounded him - the most brilliant spirits of the age. Stand ing on the hill consecrated to Mars, under the covering of heaven's own temple - the sky, with all the bright evidences of the Being and erfections of God encompassing him, the images of superstition and idolatry could not arrest his atten tion, except fora little moment, which he dedicated to pity the natural sentiment of a good and a generous mind for the weakness or the wickedness of others - he pointed to those glorious heavens, and appealed to the surrounding features of creation, - attesting the hills and the vallies, the sun and the stars, - and pleading their relation to God, who made the world and all thin therein as the basis of their obligation confirming t e living Witnesses of nature by referring to cer tain of their own poets, who had said, For we also are his oil's ring. This was an argument which the pure philosophy of thens would not impugn, and could not resist. It was the voice of reason and conscience, as well as of nature. It had been heard by all nations. It was a testimony which the sun had borne in his restless career, and carried round the circle of the earth; while the night repeated the evidence When his beams were withdrawn.
