Foundations of philosophy as a system of knowledge Explore how a unified view of science, art, religion, and ethics can illuminate our search for meaning. This edition surveys key ideas about reason, reality, and human progress, presenting philosophy as a practical guide to living well within the cosmos.
The text traces how classical and romantic art reflect larger philosophical divides, and shows how Greek ideals, German philosophy, and modern science shape our understanding of truth, beauty, and virtue. It also delves into agnosticism and monism, offering accessible explanations of complex ideas about what can be known, what lies beyond experience, and how we should live in light of those limits. Throughout, the emphasis is on how evolution, unity, and the striving for higher ideals inform our view of humanity and the world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores fundamental problems in philosophy, grappling with concepts of sensation, memory, cognition, knowledge, truth, monism, and more. The author contends that all knowledge is rooted in sensation and that memory is the physiological condition of knowledge. Cognition is the act of recognizing a unity or sameness in two or more phenomena. Knowledge is the formulated stock of experiences in which we have discovered common features. Monism is the view that all of reality is one undivided and indivisible whole. The author argues that monism is the natural outcome of the human mind's disposition to seek unity and that it is justified by the character of our actual experiences. The book concludes by examining the origin of a priori knowledge, arguing that it is derived from the formal properties of reality that we abstract through thinking.
