Sinopsis

""The Individual and Reality: An Essay Touching the First Principles of Metaphysics"" is a philosophical treatise written by Edward Douglas Fawcett and first published in 1909. The book explores the nature of reality and the relationship between the individual and the external world. Fawcett argues that reality is not a fixed and objective entity, but rather a subjective experience that is shaped by the individual’s perceptions and consciousness. He also examines the concept of the self and its role in shaping our understanding of reality. Fawcett’s work is heavily influenced by the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and his ideas on the nature of perception and the limitations of human understanding. This book is recommended for readers interested in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Preface THIS work is not a continuation of my Riddle (1893), but supersedes it. I do not regret having penned the latter. Read with enormous satisfaction by a critic such asP rofessor William James, it was evidently not written in vain. Some of its novelties are to reappear, in fact, here. But my abandonment of theM onadology and considerable advances in other directions furnish reason that I should start afresh. Those who followed theM onadology with interest may care to learn that I made every effort to save it, but found the task impracticable. After a pause of some fifteen years, I have replaced it with the new form of Idealism which is presented here. The Monads even the time-honoured human egos disappear. The work is just an essay on some disputed first principles of metaphysics, and has no pretensions to be called a treatise. I ts main aim is to indicate the foundations on which the metaphysics of the future may be built. The riddle before us is that as to the general nature of Reality at large of the universe. And the solution offered may be regarded as an alternative to that reached by Bradley, also an idealist, in his famous Appearance andR eality: a work which I have had continually in mind. Absolutism in its German, English, and I ndian1 forms is rejected 1N othing genuinely real can move [change] is the formula of this standpoint.
