A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was undertaken taore than a quarter of a century ago, and I have had it pretty constantly in mind during the period that has elapsed ;but difficulties of various kinds perhaps not all to be regretted have delayed its production. My primary object in writing it has been to clear up my own ideas on a number of fundamental problems. On many of them I still feel a good deal of uncertainty, but I can scarcely hope that that will ever be wholly removed ;and it is possible that the attempt that has here been made may be of some service to others, especially to those who are more nearly at the beginning of their studies. I have tried to meet the needs of such students by giving a considerable number of references to othter books and articles in which particular topics are more fully discussed. In the course of the work I have sought to take account of all the important contributions that have been made to the subject, from whatever quarter they might proceed ;but it is probable that there may be some degree of arbitrariness, in my selection both of the problems to be considered and of the writers who have dealt with them. Believing as I do that some of the most fundamental problems are of interest to many who are not specialists in philosophy, I have endeavoured to avoid technicalities, as far as possible, and to give a considerable number of simple illustrations ;and I have not hesitated, especially in the more speculative parts of the work, to refer to writers who cannot, in any strict sense, be described as philosophers. If this is an offence against the dignity of the subject, I must crave the indulgence of the more purely scientific reader. It will be observed that my treatment has been a good deal influenced by the writings of those who are commonly referred to as theN ew Realists.
