Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysics of Historical Knowledge In the case of knowledge derived from most se-called history, one is even further removed from the original experiences de scribed. To be sure, such knowledge has its ultimate source in the reports of eye-witnesses. But it does not reach us unalloyed. It comes reinterpreted, remoulded by the private thoughts of the historian. And however accurate the story may be, I no more relive those experiences than I behold my friend in the photograph.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Philosophy, the Unification of Knowledge The cultivated mind, whatever its antecedents, holds a judicial position. That is to say, the educated and thought ful members of society are looked to, to pass impartial judgments upon questions concerning the general welfare. This impartiality is particularly necessary in philosophy, for thought is hedged about with prejudices, and almost every man represents some logical sect or school which he feels it his duty to support.

Download or read book The Inquiring Mind Classic Reprint written by George Boas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inquiring Mind I have been singularly fortunate in my friends, both colleagues and students. I have been also fortunate in having been able to participate in events outside the academic field. My training in one of the arts, my classical education, my drifting about from one graduate school to another, my persistent refusal to confine my studies to any narrow field, an ability to pick up languages without much difficulty, a willingness to relax and let chance take care of me, have all contributed to making my career peculiarly agreeable. The greatest stroke of luck was my being called to the Johns Hop kins University where I have passed over half my life. As far as I can judge, it is unique in the latitude which it gives its faculties, in the informality of its organization, in its assumption that the professors are scholars and not bookkeepers. There may be other institutions in which this is also true, but I have not taught in them. It has always been a pleasure to acknowledge my debt to my university and I do so once more, even though it be the last occasion. I am happy to join to its name that of the Institute for Advanced Study whose guest I was in the autumn term of 1956. The Director and Faculty of the Institute have done everything possible to make writing this book easy. If it does not justify their hospitality, that is surely not their fault. Finally no Carus Lecturer can adequately express his thanks to the children of Paul Carus, whose generosity founded the lectureship. I can only say that the liberal spirit of their father still lives in them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics: A Study in First Principles Philosophy, as a special form of mental activity, seeks to answer these two questions: How is knowledge possible? What is the true nature of reality? The first question deals with the knowing subject and his relation to the Oh jcet. The aim is to give an exposition and a theory of the knowing process and to unfold its implications. The sec ond question deals with the nature of the object viewed as a thing in itself. The first question belongs to the theory of knowledge; the second belongs to metaphysics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Knowledge: A Contribution to Some Problems of Logic and Metaphysics The reaction against the scientific spirit, so characteristic of our generation, has shown itself in the philosophic world in the decay of what has been called the English school. Along with many defects and limitations, that school, from Bacon and Locke to Mill and Spencer, has had the merit of dealing, or attempting to deal, in a sympathetic spirit with the problems and methods of the sciences. The shortcomings of empiricism have been pointed out adequately enough now by the brilliant series of critics who have drawn their inspira tion from other sources, and the danger at present seems to be that the real services of the English school should be forgotten. On the other hand, the newer movement in our thought, now itself nearly thirty years old, has hardly fulfilled its promise of giving us on metaphysical grounds a better synthesis than could be hoped for from science. As time has gone on, the purely negative and critical side of the movement has tended to gain the upper hand; and in the great metaphysical work of the keenest intellect which the school has produced, while everyone admits the force of the negative dialectics, such con structive conceptions as remain seem scarcely at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of Thought and Knowledge Tms work does not aim to give an elaborate system of philosophy, but only to expound and recommend a certain way of looking at the problems of thought and knowledge. If we get the right point of view we can see for ourselves without waiting to be told. There are certain fundamental principles which underlie the problems in question, and the aim has been to bring them to light. The things which might be said are numberless, but, having due regard to the shortness of life, it has seemed to me that the discussion of principles is more profitable at present than the bulkiest col lections of details. Besides, we have them already. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Knowledge The object and general conception of the work, herewith submitted to the American public, is to/ clearly set forth in the Introduction which precedes it to require any additional explanation from me. Suffice it historically to state, that this its object was not achieved in Germany; and that the motive which inspired its translation was the hope that it might be' achieved in America. Whether success would come at once or after many years, I did not choose to speculate upon; but the certainty has always been in my mind, that, sooner or later, the science of knowledge will be taught in every college and university of the land, as the science of all sciences, as the science which will, when once recognized, put a stop to those stale and unprofitable metaphysical specula tions, by indulging in which mankind has wasted time and energies enough to advance true culture beyond the most daring dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of History as Metaphysic The Muse Clio, carted from Pieria to the museums, can no longer be invoked without a libation to her warders, the numerous scribes, who have been busy since her fall correlating her steps, or her metamorphoses, as some say, for she has proved a difficult subject for classification: She is becoming bigger or better, nay she is growing many; she stations one foot in the beginning, but where is the other? Alas, it is in Asia, and the head is a fake in need of restoration! Thus she has become Clio Tymbuchos in the professional hands of the scribes who find lively occupation exhuming and questioning her relics corked into formaldehyde and coffined into airtight compartments called historical facts. Men have speculated her into a new myth, a sepulchre of forms, and they have named the sepulchre History. But observe her resurrections! She has arisen, a mighty thing-in-herself with her own laws and growths and decays, and disembodied, dismembered, this apparition, this butterfly-concept called Clio, is expanding towards infinity.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hamilton's Theory of Knowledge England conscious Of the philosophical relation Of the Scotch to the continental schools. When others were dumb with amaze ment or trepidation in view Of the transcendental schemes Of Teutonic speculation, this intrepid and acute thinker pre sented himself within the lists, and threw down the gauntlet against all comers - to vindicate, on philosophical grounds, the philosophy of common sense in face Of the proud pretensions Of the philosophy Of the absolute. His name and fame, in the annals Of philosophy, are identified With this work. Besides this, as a teacher Of philosophy in the University Of Edi burgh, he revived the study Of logic and metaphysics at a time when logic was neglected and metaphysics every where spoken against; and he created an' enthusiastic school, which has able advocates in England and America, as well as In Scotland. His system has now become a part Of the history Of philosophy and it deserves to be studied, not only because he was one Of the most vigorous Of thinkers, but because his speculations bear upon the relation between the Scotch and the German schools, and enter. Into the very heart Of the contro versy between philosophy and faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Interpretation of Philosophy By one man's thought. The philosophy that undertakes this task will be ground to dust as a small thing, a stone pressed and revolved by the undying strength of a glacier. That a single person, in remote, wayward speculation, should attempt to set aside, or even to interpret in some remote way, the accumulated experience Of all time, grow ing into universal convictions under the double ministra tion of physical tendencies and spiritual appetencies, is an absurdity. It is as if one should strive to alter the orbit Of the earth by jumping on it. A theory Of knowl edge that contradicts knowledge is one that pushes aside the subject-matter with which it has to deal, and expounds the generic movement of the race by the erratic departure of individuals from it. There may come corrections of knowledge out of knowledge itself, corrections wholly in harmony. With its fundamental methods, but there can be no criticism by mind that invalidates the processes Of mind and the conclusions held under them. It is not the popular as opposed to the disciplined mind that is magni fied by the assertion, but the normal as Opposed to the exceptional activity of mind.
