THE FIELD OF PHILOSOPHY: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF PHILOSOPHY

Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The word ÒphilosophyÓ is derived from the greek words ÒPhileinÓ meaning to love and ÒSophiaÓ meaning wisdom. Hence the true philosopher is a lover of wisdom. A complete philosophy includes a world-view, or reasoned conception of the whole cosmos and a life-view, or doctrine of the values, meanings and purposes of human life. The aim of philosophy is to discover the full meaning and relations of truth, Beauty and Goodness and to determine their places in the universe of reality. Philosophy is an attempt to interpret reflectively human life in all its relations. The philosopher aims to Òsee life steadily and to see it wholeÓ Plato says Òthe unexamined life is not a truly human life.Ó Philosophy is rational reflection upon experience, belief, and conduct. It is closely related to science, conduct and religion. About the Author:-Joseph Alexander Leighton (1870-1954), Professor of Philosophy in the Ohio state university, Author of Ò Man and the Cosmos,Ó many years experience in the teaching introductory courses in philosophy led me to conclude, that the best method is a combination of the Historical and the topical or systematic methods. A Beginniny course which attempts to cover, in detail, the entire History of European and American Philosophy is beyoend the grasp of most beginners. The increasing lack of a common cultural perspective, on the part of students, makes it imperative to supply something in the way of historical background. According to me a sketch of the historical growth of Greek philosophy best meets this need, because of the simplicity and logical symmetry and completeness with which it unfolds.
