Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Modern Phi losophy by Professor Kuno Fischer of Heidelberg is conspicuous for the courage with which the author grapples with the difficulties of his task and the success with which he overcomes them. Though he is by no means removed from criticism or controversy in respect to the interpretation which he gives of the writers and schools which he encounters, and in the positive and pronounced estimates and criticisms which he does not hesitate to give of their leading positions, he is uniformly clear, spirited, and ex haustive. He is also popular in the best sense of the term, being neither technical nor abstract beyond the necessities imposed by his theme, and connecting with the thorough and masterly discussion of schools and opinions as much of personal and general historic interest as could be expected or desired. For these reasons his history is, perhaps, more readable than any other, and is uniformly confessed by competent critics, whether friendly or otherwise, to be eminently attractive and exciting to the general student. Hitherto only a small portion of this history has been translated into English, for one reason among others, that the history itself is not yet complete, having as yet been finished to the end of Schelling ssystem and life, where it rests for obvious reasons with the authors unsatisfied desire satisfactorily to expound the development of the Hegelian theory of Being and of Knowledge.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of philosophy, tracing the development of ideas from ancient Greece to the early modern period. The author examines how philosophers wrestled with fundamental questions about the nature of the world, the limitations of human knowledge, and the essence of human existence. The book starts with an exploration of the ancient Greek philosophers, showcasing their attempts to understand the physical world through observation and reason. It then analyzes the transition to the era of Athenian philosophy, marked by a shift in focus from the material world to the human mind itself. The author argues that this shift, exemplified by Socrates, represents a critical turning point in the history of philosophical thought. Through the lens of key thinkers and schools of thought, the book examines the development of philosophical ideas, highlighting the controversies and contradictions that emerged as philosophers grappled with the complexities of existence and understanding. Ultimately, the book reveals the evolution of philosophy as a continuous process of questioning, critiquing, and redefining our understanding of the world and our place in it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
