Sinopsis
Excerpt from Problems in Philosophy
This volume may seem to be constructed on the idea of gathering up the fragments that nothing may be lost. This precept, however, wise as it often is, does not express the law of production in the present case. A few points in philosophy invited more clear or more thorough state ment. This labor I chose to undertake directly and briefly, rather than to attempt it as a part of a more ex tended and systematic work. One evil in philosophy is the accumulation of fruitless discussions. A few positions fortunately taken may be easily lost in their practical value by the extended treatises which accompany them, traversing old ground with no sufl'icient reward. Philoso phy, above most topics, calls for an explicit statement of a few fundamental principles, and a pushing of inquiry in reference to them, till some satisfactory conclusion is reached. The present volume aims to make, in the most direct way, a contribution on the more obscure topics of philosophy. What it has to say is not, taken collectively, extended, and may be still farther reduced by the reader by confining his attention to the one or more subjects which may appeal directly to him. Only one of these discussions - that on liberty - has appeared elsewhere, and that essay has been somewhat modified.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of philosophical essays that examines foundational principles in philosophy, such as the nature of knowledge, metaphysics, and the limits of human reason. The author argues that many philosophical problems arise from a misunderstanding of how we gain knowledge and our place within the world. The author posits that most philosophical inquiry has erred in starting with foundational principles that cannot be proven. Instead, the author argues that we must build our understanding of the world from the ground up, beginning with our own experiences and perceptions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, and the nature of knowledge. It offers a fresh perspective on some of the most fundamental questions in philosophy and provides a path forward for future inquiry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780282137045_0
