Présentation de l'éditeur

For some years past I have experimented and pondered as to the best method of giving an introductorycourse which might really introduce beginners to the basic problems and theories of philosophy and quicken them to some appreciation of the role played by philosophy in the whole movement of civilization, while, at the same time, giving them at least an inkling of the work of the greatest thinkers and arousing in them a desire to go to the sources. A course in the entire History of European Philosophy, if seriously given, is beyond the reach of many beginners in the subject. Only the exceptional student can make much out of it. The others are bewildered by the rapid succession of theories not easily distinguishable and become confused as to the fundamental issues and standpoints. They are likely to carry away from the course the feeling that philosophy has no close relation to culture and everyday experience and that it is a bewildering mass of speculations shot out of the blue .T heH istory of Philosophy should be a second course. On the other hand a purely topical and systematic introduction fails to bring the student in cantact with the great historical doctrines in other than the scrappiest fashion. Moreover, the miscellaneous and varied characters of the intellectual backgrounds of students who elect a first course in philosophy make it imperative to supply something in the way of a common background and also, at the risk of being dogmatic, to indicate the main directions in which solutions of the chief problems of philosophy may be sought.
