A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume is intended primarily as a supplement to Professor Leighton's "Field of Philosophy". But that work covered so completely the entire territory of the subject that this volume in presenting the sources which Professor Leighton evidently had in mind becomes a fairly representative collection of the classic passages of philosophic literature, and may possibly be of in dependent interest to some readers as such a collection.

The necessity for readings supplementary to the other text and the difficulty of providing a reference library with sufficiently numerous copies for large classes afforded the motives for such a compilation. There are, of course, standard source books in philosophy in existence; but none of them quite met the situation. Doubtless the ideal plan would be to have the student turn to the complete works and see the passages in their proper settings. This would in many instances stimulate curiosity and lead to further reading of passages of his own selection. It would also make possible the interpretation of important conceptions in the light of parallel references. But this does not prove practicable in actual work. Hence, this volume is offered as something of a substitute.

In selecting the passages the effort has been simply to illustrate by means of sources the essential points of Professor Leighton's discussion.
