Excerpt from An Introduction to Systematic Philosophy
But what is the book? It is an attempt to state and explain the chief problems of philosophy as problems actually existing to-day, and to give such solution of these as the author is able to give. In fact, its chief value seems to me to lie in the selection and in the order of the problems with which it deals. The instructor who uses the book for his classes may easily select those chap ters which he wishes to omit and those which he desires to emphasize. I strongly urge the beginner and the gen eral reader to omit for the first reading the following chapters: V, VII, X, XII, XIII, XX, XXX, XXXI, XXXIII, XLV, XLVI, XLVII, LVII, and LVIII. By so doing the book will gain in interest and the main argument will not be seriously disturbed.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Systematic Philosophy
There are two things that this book is not. First, it is not an historical introduction to philosophy. I have dealt only in a few cases with the history of the problems under consideration, but have generally given only brief notes and a few references to guide the student should he desire to devote some time to looking up historical matters. Secondly, it is not a handbook of philosophy. It does not give pro and con all the various doctrines held by the great philosophical writers of the past and the leading writers of the present. It does not give an exhaustive bibliography under the different headings, but mentions as a rule only those books with whose titles the beginner should get acquainted and in which he will find the best introduction to a further and profounder treatment of the problem in hand.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into philosophy, examining its history, methods, and main problems. The author invites readers to go beyond the common misconceptions of philosophy as a complex study of abstract theories and inaccessible concepts. Instead, they posit it as a practice that concerns itself with essential questions and paradoxes of existence. The author emphasizes the significance of organizing and connecting seemingly disparate and complex truths into a coherent whole. Through the works of historical and contemporary philosophers, this book explores the nature of reality, our ability to know it, and the meaning of life itself. It offers readers an opportunity to learn about the foundational questions of philosophy and how they relate to human existence and the pursuit of knowledge.
