Présentation de l'éditeur
The following lectures were delivered at the University of California while I had the honor and good fortune to beL ecturer on theM ills Foundation from January toM ay of the present year. I am publishing them in virtually the same form as that in which I delivered them, thus perpetuating my grateful sense of an interested and friendly audience. I claim neither originality nor profound scholarship; but have the hope that this assembling and formulation of ideas that are now in the air, may have some present value for those who are trying, as I am, to understand the deeper issues that underlie the war. I have thought that this book might also serve as a companion volume to my Present Pkilosopkical Tendencies. There I have dealt mainly with the technicalities and fundamentals; here I have dealt with the moral, emotional, political and religious implications. In order that the two books may be used together, I have followed a similar order of topics: discussing first (C hapters III-XII), aspects of naturalism; second (C hapters XIII-XIX), a ects of idealism; third (C hapters XX-XXTV), aspects of pragmatism; and fourth (C hapter XXV), the practical implications of realism. The remainder of the book consists of an attempt to relate these tendencies to the conflicting national ideals of the present war. I desire to express my thanks toP rofessor A. L. Locke of Howard University for his assistance in the reading of proof. RALPH BARTON PERRY. Washington, D. C, August Z5, iQ zS.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental ideas and ideals that fueled the Great War, offering a compelling analysis of the philosophical currents that shaped the conflict. The author examines the dominant intellectual forces of the era, including naturalism, idealism, pragmatism, and realism, tracing their impact on national beliefs and actions. The book explores how scientific advancements, particularly in the fields of biology and physics, influenced the prevailing worldview, leading to a materialistic interpretation of reality, often described as a "nightmare conception." This view, characterized by its detachment from human aspirations, shaped both individual and national perspectives on war and morality. The author delves into the complex relationship between ideals and actions, challenging the notion that professed beliefs are mere masks for hidden agendas. He argues that justifications for actions, whether personal or national, serve to secure support from individuals and societies, uniting diverse interests under a common banner. Through a detailed analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of various nations involved in the war, this book offers a profound understanding of the ideological battlefields that fueled the conflict, and the ways in which these forces continue to shape our world today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330389041_0
