Synopsis
The purpose of this essay is to show: first, that the social problem has been the basic concern of many of the greater philosophers ;second, that an approach to the social problem through philosophy is the first condition of even a moderately successful treatment of this problem; and third, that an approach to philosophy through the social problem is indispensable to the revitalization of philosophy. By philosophy we shall understand a study of experience as a whole, or of a portion of experience in relation to the whole. By the social problem we shall understand, simply and very broadly, the problem of reducing human misery by modifying social institutions. It is a problem that, ever reshaping itself, eludes sharper definition ;for misery is related to desire, and desire is personal and in perpetual flux: each of us sees the problem unsteadily in terms of his own changing aspirations.

impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book initiates a fresh look at philosophy as an answer to our contemporary social issues, exploring the influential ideas of Socrates, Plato, Bacon, Spinoza, and Nietzsche. The author asserts that many philosophers throughout history have shared the concern for decreasing human suffering through the modification of social institutions, and that a philosophical approach to social problems is the first step toward resolving them. The book argues that philosophy, as the study of experience as a whole or in relation to the whole, can help us to understand our own situation and advance potential solutions to the problems we face. The insights in this book hold significance for anyone interested in a thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of philosophy and its pivotal role in addressing the social dilemmas of our time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
