Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why should we trouble with philosophy at all? What good will it do to us?" These are some of the questions that author Frederic Harrison posed in his lengthy introductory statement, which could very well be considered the first of 23 essays compiled in The Philosophy of Common Sense, which is his published attempt to answer those questions. Released in 1907, this volume is said to be the second of a series of studies collected by Harrison and is designed to summarize the "philosophical grounds" on which his previous work was based. It aims to present the main points of various philosophical arguments without the verbose descriptions that usually accompany them. This edition also includes some autobiographical elements that reveal how the author came up with his conclusions on various philosophical standpoints, in order to illustrate that "philosophy, like Religion, is much more simple, more practical, closer to a strenuous life on earth, than philosophers are thought to admit." A Positivist and a disciple of Comtean thought, Mr. Harrison uses Comte's standpoint in analyzing and criticizing various philosophies. You will also notice his penchant for referring to religion, as well as his efforts to arrive at the truth in the arguments presented in his essays. Those who have a yen for nineteenth century philosophy, as well as history, will find this book a compelling read and reference.

Download or read book The Philosophy and Common Sense Reader written by Markar Melkonian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might common sense be? Is it a mental capacity? Or does it consist of just truisms and precepts? If the latter is the case, is this knowledge innate or empirical? Or is it like “human nature”-a term that has played its role in rhetoric, but that does not appear to have a definite, agreed-upon meaning? Indeed we can learn a great deal about some of the most influential modern philosophers, from the Enlightenment to Ludwig Wittgenstein and W.V.O. Quine, by examining what they have to say about common sense, whilst the anthropologist Clifford Geertz observed that common sense “has become a central category, almost the central category, in a wide range of modern philosophical systems.” This book investigates the nature of common sense through a selection of key writings on epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of religion, meta-ethics and the philosophy of economics and political philosophy. The authors included are representative of the Scottish School, such as David Hume, the Ordinary Language School, and members of the Analytic tradition, including Karl Popper, but they also incorporate thinkers like John Dewey from the American pragmatist tradition, the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, recent popular writers on economics, and even pamphleteers, from Thomas Paine to contemporary engaged journalists. This is the first reader to provide such a comprehensive overview of the central writings on common sense. It features review questions and further reading lists at the end of each section.

This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Scottish Philosophy is a series of collaborative studies, each volume being devoted to a specific period. Together they provide a comprehensive account of the Scottish philosophical tradition, from the centuries that laid the foundation of the remarkable burst of intellectual fertility known as the Scottish Enlightenment, through the Victorian age and beyond, when it continued to exercise powerful intellectual influence at home and abroad. The books aim to be historically informative, while at the same time serving to renew philosophical interest in the problems with which the Scottish philosophers grappled, and in the solutions they proposed. This volume covers the history of Scottish philosophy after the Enlightenment period, through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Leading experts explore the lives and work of major figures including Thomas Brown, William Hamilton, J. F. Ferrier, Alexander Bain, John Macmurray, and George Davie, and address important developments in the period from the Scottish reception of Kant and Hegel to the spread of Scottish philosophy in Europe, America and Australasia, and the relation of Common Sense philosophy and American pragmatism. A concluding chapter investigates the nature and identity of a 'Scottish philosophical tradition'. General Editor: Gordon Graham, Princeton Theological Seminary

Book excerpt: For historians centennial commemorations furnish an excellent heuristic tool for gauging late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century attitudes towards the past and the present. Centenary celebrations helped to revive, perpetuate and reinforce public perceptions of historical events and people in collective memory. They were fairly infrequent before 1850 but increased in size and numbers by the end of the long nineteenth century, so much so that a ‘cult of the centenary’ had become established throughout the wider Western world around 1900. At one level, such events were ephemeral affairs. And yet many left a lasting legacy. Above all, as part of the contemporary processes of the ‘invention of traditions’ and the conscious national ‘self-historicization’ of the established nation-states, they offer crucial insights into the social, cultural and political dynamics of the period.
