Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materialism: Ancient and Modern In a controversy respecting the relative merits and capabilities of the German and French languages, the advocate for the latter challenged his adversary to translate 'Nature' into pure German. There was no response. It could not be denied that the Teutons had borrowed the word 'Natur' from the Latin, or some Latin dialect; and their language, therefore, stood condemned, as wanting a word to express a conception of the most ordinary character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Final Science: Or Spiritual Materialism We have special advantages for the culture of this system. If in the land where it recently flourished so luxuriantly, materialism, like a certain bird, buries its head, there is still enough left for those who hanker after such things and it is not the head which charms them. By sedulously avoiding those pursuits which have endangered the divinity of matter abroad, we can firmly establish its throne and secure its reign. There are certain notions which dissolve the rocks on which it rests into quicksands they must accordingly be shunned as dangerous. Thus where the German philosophers cultivate the reason, let our philosophic giants cultivate sensation while their minds work ac cording to fixed laws which evolve the categories of thought, let our great minds be blank sheets of paper, passively receiving impressions from things; where they have ideas which are Platonic and remind one of the war between N ominalists and Realists, let our thinkers produce Systems in which ideas are Simply the representations of outward objects, and it will soon become evident that our purely sensualistic philoso phy furnishes a sufficiently solid basis for materialism.

This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materialism and Modern Physiology of the Nervous System This term or name appears, of late years, to be an offense to nearly every recognized authority ln biology, and no anti-materialist could wish for more conclusive refutations of its supposed doctrines than those which he may read in numerous published essays or discourses by such men as Huxley, Tyndall, Romanes and others. But soon he discovers that a landing is not yet, for when he asks these guides of science what they have to offer instead of materialism, or as an alterna tive to it, he finds himself transferred from one round of speculation to another, With a steadily increasing indefiniteness of outline and of View, until he experiences an uneasy feeling that there has been a curious mistake somewhere and that most likely, at the very start, in the meaning of the term material ism itself.

Download or read book The New Materialism written by Lionel Smith Beale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Materialism: Dictatorial Scientific Utterances and the Decline of Thought Positive conclusions have been drawn concerning questions of momentous consequence not only to curious and scientific people, but to mankind at large, and have been advocated with a confidence which precludes doubt, and reiterated with a pertinacity, which is calculated almost to enforce acceptance. But few of those, who are carried along by the materialistic stream, have troubled to think over the remarkable tenets to which they have given their assent. They receive with a faith, called robust, which seems so blind and unreasoning as to border on credulity, dogmatic and dictatorial conjectures of the most extravagant kind, convinced, but not by reason, that the authors of them could not be mistaken in the views they advanced with such positive and undoubting emphasis. The reception of materialistic dogmas by any intelligent person who takes the trouble to think over their terms, and is capable of appreciating, and analysing, and examining the evidence upon which they are supposed to rest, is simply impossible; and the applause with which these views have been received in some quarters is to be accounted for by the decline of thought, and the indisposition on the part of the public to trouble to think at all on the merits of the arguments presented to them. Is there one acquainted with the powers and actions, and results of living, of any form of living matter, who will declare that he believes the doctrine that non-living matter alone is the source of all life, and will state the grounds of his belief? Bear in mind that no state of matter known, no mere chemical combinations, no mechanical contrivances, no machinery ever made, can be caused to exhibit phenomena resembling in any really essential particular those which are characteristic of every form of living matter that exists in nature, and which, we must infer, have characterised every particle that has ever existed since the first appearance of primitive life on the earth. Neither can any known form or mode of ordinary energy construct or form, direct, control, or regulate. Nevertheless, it is taught far and wide that vital actions are due to the energy which belongs to ordinary matter, and that, therefore, vital action is but a modified form of ordinary physical or physico-chemical action. Vital action, it is said, differs in degree only from actions which occur in the non-living world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Realistic Assumptions of Modern Science Examined Classic Reprint written by Thomas Martin Herbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Realistic Assumptions of Modern Science Examined Tms volume is from the pen of the late Thomas Martin Herbert, m.a., Professor of Philosophy and Church History in Lancashire Independent College. He died at the early age of forty-two, in November, 1877, after one day's illness, having occupied this post for little more than twelve months. The sub ject treated of in this book was thoroughly congenial with his tastes. For years he had given it careful attention, devoting to it all the time he could com mand. His first published thoughts upon the sub ject appeared in the British Quarterly Review for January, 1874, in an article entitled Mind and the Science of Energy. The reception with which that article met confirmed his sense of the importance of his argument, and encouraged him to carry out his intention of more fully developing his thoughts in the form in which they are now laid before the public. The task of editing the book has been undertaken by his colleague, James M. Hodgson, m.a., b.d. Except the correction of some clerical errors, and slight changes in a few sentences manifestly obscure or incorrect, which Mr. Herbert would doubtless have altered had he lived, the treatise has been published as nearly as possible in the form in which he left it. The reader must, however, bear in mind that the manuscript had undergone no final revision for the press by its author. Had this been the case no doubt sundry alterations would have been made, including the re casting of some sections, the erasure of occasional unnecessary repetitions, and the addition of some closing paragraphs which there is proof the author intended to write. The division of the matter into chapters and sections is the work of the editor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materialism in Its Relations to the Causes, Conditions, and Treatment of Insanity The drift of modern science, judged by its surface, is toward materialism. The term is used in its philosophic and not in its theological sense. Not to discuss the general doc trine, I desire to make a few suggestions upon certain special aspects of the subject, that would seem to come within the scope of this occasion and this assembly. I would call your attention, then, to. The effects of the practical application of modern materialistic views, in estimating the causes, condi tions, and treatment of insanity. As I am addressing an audience of practical alienists, familiar with the literature of their specialty, I will, to save time and narrow the discussion, take for my text a paper that has just fallen under my observation, in the April number of the America/n Journal of Insanity.

Download or read book Modern Materialism and Emergent Evolution written by William McDougall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1929, McDougall examines the pertinent conflict between religion and science. His work exhibits the failure of scientists to explain human action mechanistically (the essence of modern materialism), establishes purposive action as a type of event radically different from all mechanistic events, and justifies the belief in teleological causation without which there can be neither religion nor morals. This title will be of interest to students of both the Humanities and Sciences, particularly those studying psychology and philosophy.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Early Modern Philosophy and the Sciences written by Dana Jalobeanu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 2267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia offers a fresh, integrated and creative perspective on the formation and foundations of philosophy and science in European modernity. Combining careful contextual reconstruction with arguments from traditional philosophy, the book examines methodological dimensions, breaks down traditional oppositions such as rationalism vs. empiricism, calls attention to gender issues, to ‘insiders and outsiders’, minor figures in philosophy, and underground movements, among many other topics. In addition, and in line with important recent transformations in the fields of history of science and early modern philosophy, the volume recognizes the specificity and significance of early modern science and discusses important developments including issues of historiography (such as historical epistemology), the interplay between the material culture and modes of knowledge, expert knowledge and craft knowledge. This book stands at the crossroads of different disciplines and combines their approaches – particularly the history of science, the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of science, and intellectual and cultural history. It brings together over 100 philosophers, historians of science, historians of mathematics, and medicine offering a comprehensive view of early modern philosophy and the sciences. It combines and discusses recent results from two very active fields: early modern philosophy and the history of (early modern) science.

Download or read book Materialism written by Richard C. Vitzthum and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-researched study traces the materialist hypothesis that all existence is an unbroken, material continuum from its origins in ancient Greece to modern times. Starting with Lucretius' great first-century-BC poem, The Nature of Things, it proceeds through Enlightenment materialism and Paul d'Holbach's masterpiece, The System of Nature, to 19th century materialism and Ludwig Buechner's epochal Force and Matter. It concludes by examining the 20th century literature of mind-brain materialism. Addressed to specialists and general readers alike, Vitzthum's interdisciplinary approach avoids technical jargon as it critically reviews the premises and literature of materialism from philosophical, historical, scientific, and literary perspectives.
