Sinopsis
Excerpt from Our Knowledge of the External World as a Field for Scientific Method in Philosophy
Since my purpose was to illustrate method, I have included much that is tentative and incomplete, for it is not by the study of finished structures alone that the manner of construction can' be learnt. Except in regard to such matters as Cantor's theory of infinity, no finality is claimed for the theories suggested but I believe that where they are found to require modification, this will be discovered by substantially the same method as that which at present makes them appear probable, and it is on this ground that I ask the reader to be tolerant of their incompleteness.

Dr. Whitehead, to whom are due almost all the differences between the views advocated here and those suggested in The Problems of Philosophy I owe to hi the definition of points, the suggestion for the treatment of instants and things, and the whole conception of the world of physics as a construction rather than an inference. What is said on these topics here is, in fact, a rough preliminary account of the more precise results which he is giving in the fourth volume of our Principia Mathematical It will be seen that if his way of dealing with these topics is capable of being successfully carried through, a wholly new light is thrown on the time-honoured controversies of realists and idealists, and a method is obtained of solving all that is soluble in their problem. The speculations of the past as to the reality or unreality of the world of physics were baffled, at the outset, by the absence of any satisfactory theory of the mathematical infinite. This difficulty has been removed by the work of Georg Cantor. But the positive and detailed solution of the problem by means of mathematical constructions based upon sensible objects as data has only been rendered possible by the growth of mathematical logic, without which it is practically impossible to manipulate ideas of the requisite abstractness and complexity. This aspect, which is somewhat obscured in a merely popular outline such as is contained in the following lectures, will become plain as soon as Dr. Whitehead swork is published. In pure logic, which, however, will be very Londonand New York, 1912 (H ome University Library ), a The first volume was published at Cambridge in 1910, the second in 1912, and the third in 1913.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to revolutionize philosophy by applying the rigorous methods of logic and analysis to the age-old questions about the nature of reality. The author draws inspiration from the work of Frege and takes issue with the dominant philosophical traditions of his time, both the "classical tradition" stemming from Kant and Hegel, and the rising "evolutionism" inspired by Darwin. He argues that these philosophies rely on sweeping generalizations and untested assumptions, rather than the detailed, verifiable knowledge that characterizes the sciences. The book's central theme is the relationship between our perception of the world and the fundamental concepts of space, time, and matter as they are understood in physics. The author argues that these concepts are not simply given to us by experience, but are rather constructions that we create based on our sensory data. He proposes that this understanding offers a new way to approach the long-standing debates between realists and idealists, providing a method for resolving some of the seemingly irresolvable questions about the nature of reality. This book offers a groundbreaking challenge to traditional philosophical approaches, paving the way for a more precise and objective understanding of the world.
