Synopsis
As these lectures are meant to be public, and so few, I have assumed all very special problems to be excluded, and some topic of general interest required. Fortunately, our age seems to be growing philosophical again - still in the ashes live the wonted fires. Oxford, long the seed-bed, for the english world, of the idealism inspired by Kant and Hegel, has recently become the nursery of a very different way of thinking. Even non-philosophers have begun to take an interest in a controversy over what is known as pluralism or humanism. It looks a little as if the ancient english empiricism, so long put out of fashion here by nobler sounding germanic formulas, might be re-pluming itself and getting ready for a stronger flight than ever. It looks as if foundations were being sounded and examined afresh.
Individuality outruns all classification, yet we insist on classifying every one we meet
Table of Contents
The Types of Philosophic Thinking 1; Our age is growing philosophical again, 3 Change of tone since 1860, 4 Empiricism and Rationalism defined, 7 The process of Philosophizing: Philosophers choose some part of the world to interpret the whole by, 8 They seek to make it seem less strange, 11 Their temperamental differences, 12 Their systems must be reasoned out, 18 Their tendency to over-technicality, 15 Excess of this in Germany, 17 The type of vision is the important thing in a philosopher, 20 Primitive thought, 21 Spiritualism and Materialism : Spiritualism shows two types, 23 Theism and Pantheism, 24 Theism makes a duality of Man and God, and leaves Man an outsider, 25 Pantheism identifies Man with God, 29 The contemporary tendency is towards Pantheism, 30 Legitimacy of our demand to be essential in the Universe, 33 Pluralism versus Monism: The 'each-form' and the 'all-form' of representing the world

A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of reality and human understanding, engaging in a lively debate about the contrasting philosophies of monism and pluralism. The author, drawing from a rich history of philosophical thought, particularly the influences of Kant, Hegel, and Spinoza, examines the implications of viewing the universe as a single, unified entity (monism) versus a multitude of individual parts (pluralism). The author argues for a more nuanced understanding of the universe, one that embraces the "each-form" rather than solely the "all-form," suggesting that reality may never achieve a complete, unified state. The book explores the implications of this debate for our understanding of human experience, God, and our place in the grand scheme of things. The author critiques the limitations of monism, pointing out its tendency to de-realize human experience and make the divine seem distant and foreign. In contrast, the author champions a pluralistic worldview, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the unique nature of each individual and the inherent interconnectedness of all things. This book offers a fresh perspective on the perennial questions of philosophy, encouraging readers to embrace the complexity and dynamism of the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440050619_0
