Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History Greek Philosophy The following work had its beginning in a series of essays written for one of the ethico-religious periodicals of the country. To these - at the suggestion of friends whose counsel seemed to be as valuable as that of any could possibly be and could not well be disregarded - others were added to make a brief account of Greek speculation from its beginning to its end. This account has been prepared in the belief that the problems of philosophy are in a large measure always the same, and that the Greek solutions of the cardinal problems, by reason of their simplicity and freshness (for they are solutions that were found when the world's thought was comparatively in its youth, and are, in larger measure than those unacquainted with the history of thought begin to suspect, the only original solutions of those problems), and by reason of their remoteness from the prejudices of the present, have a certain value not possessed by any others, particularly for the beginner in philosophical thinking.
