THE POSSIBILITY OF PHILOSOPHY AS SYSTEM: SCOTTISH PHILOSOPHY AND HEGEL. Our position being thus denned in reference to Eelativism and Agnosticism, there remains the important question of the relation of Scottish philosophy, or at least of what we hold to be the legitimate outcome of Scottish philosophy, to what has been called by Professor Fraser "Gnosticism" -- i.e., to philosophy as a closed circle or completed system, in some such form as it is presented, for example, by Hegel. If we repudiate Relativism, are we prepared to be called Absolutists? A question, similar in its terms, was essayed by Hamilton in his celebrated article on the Philosophy of the Conditioned, and in his repeated attacks upon the doctrines of the Absolute. I do not propose to traverse once more that deserted field of battle; but as the very term Absolute associates itself to Scottish ears with Hamilton, a few words of explanation may serve to remove misapprehensions. In regard to this particular controversy, time has brought us nearer to the Continent than we were in the beginning of the century, and has enabled us to see that, in the case of Hegel at least, the issue raised by Sir W. Hamilton is an entirely false one. The point which Hamilton makes, Hegel would be the last man in the world to deny. The Absolute, whose unknowableness Hamilton maintains, is, in his own words, a thing existing "not under relation" --" the absolute negation of all relation." It is "absolutely one," and "absolute unity is convertible with the absolute negation of plurality and difference." Hence "intelligence whose essence is plurality--the plurality of subject and object--cannot be identified with the Absolute."1 In other words, the Absolute against which Hamilton...

In the preceding Lecture, two points were signalised in which a parallel might be drawn between Eeid's work and the work of Kant. It remains for us to see how far, having regard to other aspects of Eeid's philosophy, we are justified in maintaining a comparison between the two men. We may best begin by considering Eeid's account of the principles which he declares to be essential to the very existence of knowledge. As regards the nomenclature which he adopts, it may be admitted, at the outset, that the name "Principles of Common Sense" is unfortunate on account of its misleading associations--associations which have been strengthened rather than weakened by the unguarded utterances of its champions. The term is misleading, because it confounds philosophy and life. No doubt the encTof a true philosophy is to justify ordinary knowledge and practice--that is, to state and harmonise the principles on which they rest. So far as a philosophy fails to do this--so far as it abolishes distinctions and principles that are actually present in life--we must agree with Eeid that such a system is "at war with the common-sense of mankind." We must conclude that it is an inadequate, one-sided, and therefore fallacious, system. But though philosophy is thus ultimately to be judged by its accordance with life, the two must always remain essentially separate. They move on different planes. Life, whether knowing or doing, is a direct process. It is the primary fact--the object under examination. Philosophy is reflection upon life--a process wholly secondary and indirect. They differ as any process differs from the theory of the process. We may do without philosophy, if we will; but we cannot make common-sense, in the ordinary acceptation of the ter...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of Scottish philosophy begins, curiously enough, with an Irishman"-Hutcheson, whose grandfather, however, had migrated to Ulster from Ayrshire. Prof. Laurie, who has evidently come across Dr. W. R. Scott's excellent monograph on Hutcheson, does not handle the question raised by Dr. Scott as to what the "Scottish Philosophy," or the "Scottish School," precisely means. He speaks, however, of "the philosophy of Scotland " and of "the course of philosophy in Scotland," and he follows the line of " national development," apparently without any dread of a charge of provincialism. We daresay the blood of the race was always well charged with corpuscles of speculation and argumentation; and Prof. Laurie, in his introduction, does refer to Duns Scotus and other Scottish doctors that were skilful in splitting hairs in scholastic philosophy, and admits that "the national genius was peculiarly favourable to philosophy and theology." However, there are good reasons enough for beginning with Hutcheson, and reviewing the more prominent teachers of philosophy, in the Universities or through the press, in Scotland, being Scotsmen, down to Ferrier. And, reasons or no reasons, Prof. Laurie justifies his work by his careful and able account of the individual philosophers and his correlation of then various achievements and tendencies. He keeps his eye on the "national " development, but he recognizes freely that the philosophy of Scotland "bore the impress of the methods which had been prescribed by Bacon, by Newton, and by Locke." He notes the psychological cast of Scottish speculation, but properly discerns that " the most deeply cherished aims of these thinker> were philosophical rather than psychological," and it is on this aspect of their thought that he concentrates attention, leaving aside their psychology wherever it is not inextricably intertwined with their philosophy. He claims justly, and demonstrates, that "the philosophy of Scotland is memorable for the impulse which it has given to modern thought." The volume is pleasantly and lucidly written, and the criticism is not so technical as to discourage the general reader. It is a very useful and suggestive work. -The Education Outlook, Vol. 55 [1902]
