Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of the Beautiful It may be presented, in the first instance, through a series Of questions, thus - Why do we call any single Object in Nature beautiful? When we go beneath the surface of commonplace admiration, and affirm that any particular thing possesses Beauty, what do we really mean by the assertion? How comes it that one object partakes of Beauty while another does not Is there any fixed relation between the many different Objects which, taken individually, are called beautiful? If so, what is that relation Does the Beauty they partake of separate them from one another? Or does it unite them together? Leaving individual Objects, what is Beauty in itself? Is its essence knowable approximately, or in fragment? Can it be apprehended by us indirectly, if not directly, and be understood through analogy, if not by intuition? In thus stating the problem from various points of view, questions of Science have been mixed up with those Of Philosophy; but, as we proceed, these will be disengaged, and separately handled.

It is an emotion indeed, and therefore implies excitement; but, compared with many others that are ardently pursued, the emotion of the Beautiful is very calm. It is, as it were, sunshine in the soul. But let us not discourse upon the generalities of our theme; for iteration is hateful; and the generalities of taste have Often been set forth perfectly well in the English language already, and in all the languages of Europe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Art: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of AEsthetics Notwithstanding all that has been lately so well said of this modern Sphinx, as he still sits in placid contem platica by the busy highway of contemporary thought, and notwithstanding all that has been so patiently and perseveringly done to penetrate into the strange deep riddle of his proposing, it has been well-nigh overlooked, in our haste and perplexity and self-forgetfulness, how the solution of his enigma is to be most easily divined, or where it is even to be seen in letters of light, so plainly inscribed over the holiest mysteries by the consecrating hand of Art, that he who reads may run. It is more than time we should be turning from the etherial aridities and the unnavigable seas of darkness in Hegel's Dialectic - whatever be its ultimate value - to the brightness and warmth of his own free world of beauty. Owe it to the great thinker himself, who has been too long exposed to the inane mockery of shallow witlings and the revengeful hatred of ba led sciolists: And, above all, we owe it to ourselves, who need, ever more urgently, the aid of his strength and light and guidance in this sphere of ideal aspiration, where, at the best, our movement is but weak and dubious and slow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Art: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of sthetics These preliminary observations regarding beauty in nature and art, the relation of these to each other, and the exclusion of the former from the sphere of our proper subject, should dispel any prejudice that might regard the limitation given to our science as due only to an arbitrary or fanciful choice. The ultimate ground of this limitation cannot, however, be demonstrated here, as the con sideration of it falls within the science itself, and, therefore, will come later to be more exactly ex plained and established. But if we thus limit our considerations at the outset, to the Beautiful of Art, we come at once in taking this first step upon new difficulties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophical Realism Philosophy, not theology and religion, is the writer's quest; and an argument on God and crea tion is introduced only for the sake of philosophy, which required it as a condition of intellectual continuity and final unity of conception. As it is a beautiful custom for authors in their preface to designate the sources and lines of light Whence their own radiance, which might not else be clearly seen in some cases, the present writer wishes to say that he is indebted to all thinkers who have gone before him, both the known and the (to him) great unknown; and he sincerely thanks them for their inestimable benefactions, of the value of which to him, as indicated in this volume, he invites the philosophic public to judge, if it can find time, now or in the future.

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: Excerpt from Modern Philosophy For several years'attention in England has been increasingly directed to the new developments of Italian idealism. The works of Benedetto Croce, the founder of the new school, have nowhere, perhaps, been more welcomed and discussed than here; and his chief books are all now accessible to English readers. But Croce represents the first stage only of the new movement his position is by no means the last word of the school: it may indeed be said to point out new paths for thought rather than to lay down a final and com plete system. The new paths have been followed with very striking results by Giovanni Gentile and Guido de Ruggiero. Gentile has been closely studied by specialists in England for some years, but his works have never been translated, and his name is little known except to professed philosophers De Ruggiero is even less known, and the present volume represents his first appearance in English.
