A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

As there cannot be said to be a beaten path in philosophy, and as Introductions to the subject differ widely from one another, it is proper that I should give an indication of the scope of the present volume. It undertakes: i. To point out what the word philosophy is made to cover in our universities and colleges at the present day, and to show why it is given this meaning.2. To explain the nature of reflective or philosophical thinking, and to show how it differs from common thought and from science.3. To give a general view of the main problems with which philosophers have felt called upon to deal.4. To give an account of some of the more important types of philosophical doctrine which have arisen out of the consideration of such problems.5. To indicate the relation of philosophy to the so-calle 4 philosophical sciences, and to the other sciences.6. To show, finally, that the study of philosophy is of value to us all, and to give some practical admonitions on spirit and method. Had these admonitions been impressed upon me at a time when I was in especial need of guidance, I feel that they would have spared me no little anxiety and confusion of mind. For this reason, I recommend them to the attention of the reader. Such is the scope of my book. It aims to tell what. philosophy is. It is not its chief object to advocate a particular type of doctrine.
