Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of Metaphysics Some of the material in Chapters I, II, and V of this volume has already appeared in the Psychological Review; and Chapters XV, XVI, and XVII have been reprinted without very much change. They first appeared as articles in the same journal. In Chapter XXXIII I have made some use of two articles published in the Popular Science Monthly. The chapters on Space and Time are reprinted from the Philosophical Review with little change except that, in Chapter XI, some new matter has been added. To the editors of the journals mentioned, Professor Cattell, Professor Baldwin, and Professor Creighton, my thanks are due for their courtesy in permitting me to reprint as I have done. Thus, about one-fourth of the present volume has already seen the light. It is right that I should say that nothing that has already appeared has been taken up into the book as an after thought. From the beginning the work has been a unit; it has been for a number of years on my hands, and the publication of the papers above mentioned was due largely to a curiosity to see how the doctrines advocated would impress others. It was, perhaps, hardly fair to present them deprived of their setting, and this injustice, if injustice it be, is remedied now.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World a Spiritual System: An Outline of Metaphysics The trend of metaphysics has long been in the direc tion of idealism, but in recent years this system has assumed popular forms, true or perverted. It is now out on the street and in the air, and this creates an occasion for a plain exposition of the subject. The ology is also being rewritten in the light of idealistic or monistic philosophy, and this book endeavors to apply idealism in the field of religion and life. Meta physics must submit to the pragmatic test, and at this point idealism wins large vindication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The chief changes are in the form and exposition. The fundamental doctrine is more systematically set forth, and is unfolded into more detailed inferences; but the general view is unchanged. In spite of many well-meant critical washings, I still remain wallowing in the ancient meta physical and idealistic mire, and am even confirmed in my error by further reﬂection.

Book excerpt: The Metaphysics presents Aristotle's mature rejection of both the Platonic theory that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of reality and the hardheaded view that all processes are ultimately material. He argued instead that the reality or substance of things lies in their concrete forms, and in so doing he probed some of the deepest questions of philosophy: What is existence? How is change possible? And are there certain things that must exist for anything else to exist at all? The seminal notions discussed in The Metaphysics - of 'substance' and associated concepts of matter and form, essence and accident, potentiality and actuality - have had a profound and enduring influence, and laid the foundations for one of the central branches of Western philosophy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics: A Study in First Principles Philosophy, as a special form of mental activity, seeks to answer these two questions: How is knowledge possible? What is the true nature of reality? The first question deals with the knowing subject and his relation to the Oh jcet. The aim is to give an exposition and a theory of the knowing process and to unfold its implications. The sec ond question deals with the nature of the object viewed as a thing in itself. The first question belongs to the theory of knowledge; the second belongs to metaphysics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of the one and the many is central to ancient Greek philosophy, but surprisingly little attention has been paid to Aristotle's treatment of it in the Metaphysics. This omission is all the more surprising because the Metaphysics is one of our principal sources for thinking that the problem is central and for the views of other ancient philosophers on it.The Central Books of the Metaphysics are widely recognized as the most difficult portion of a most difficult work. Halper uses the problem of the one and the many as a lens through which to examine the Central Books. What he sees is an extraordinary degree of doctrinal cogency and argumentative coherence in a work that almost everyone else supposes to be some sort of patchwork. Rather than trying to elucidate Aristotle's doctrines-most of which have little explicitly to do with the problem, Halper holds that the problem of the one and the many, in various formulations, is the key problematic from which Aristotle begins and with which he constructs his arguments. Thus, exploring the problem of the one and the many turns out to be a way to reconstruct Aristotle's arguments in the Metaphysics. Armed with the arguments, Halper is able to see Aristotle's characteristic doctrines as conclusions. These latter are, for the most part, supported by showing that they resolve otherwise insoluble problems. Moreover, having Aristotle's arguments enables Halper to delimit those doctrines and to resolve the apparent contradiction in Aristotle's account of primary ousia, the classic problem of the Central Books. Although there is no way to make the Metaphysics easy, this very thorough treatment of the text succeeds in making it surprisingly intelligible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysical System of Hobbes: In Twelve Chapters From Elements of Philosophy Concerning Body; Together With Briefer Extracts From Human Nature and Leviathan This condensation of the English version of Hobbes's book Concerning Body has been made, because the work is the completest summary of the metaphysical teaching of Hobbes and because there exists no inexpensive reprint or compendium of it. The ethical and social doctrines of Hobbes may be readily studied at first hand, by the aid of modern editions of the Leviathan or of volumes of selections from the writings of Hobbes; but for his strictly metaphysical teaching one must now have recourse to the volumes of the Molesworth edition. Teachers of modern philosophy who believe, with the writer, that the study of original texts is of incomparable value to the student must have been puzzled in their efforts to be just to the claims of materialism. Convenient expositions of idealism are readily found in the editions of Berkeley's Principles and Dialogues. But no historically important summary of materialistic doctrine has, so far, been accessible. This volume aims to supply the need and also to give an adequate impression of the Elements of Philosophy Concerning Body. To gain the latter end, chapters have been included from all four Parts of the work, and the headings of omitted chapters have been printed in full.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Thought: A System IN the successive imprints of this book that have appeared since it was first published in 1869, no changes have been made except the correction of typographical and similar errors. In the present edition several alterations have been made, both in the way of addition and omission. SO far as the form is concerned, the book is still in some respects difierent, perhaps for the better, from what it would be if it were a work freshly prepared by the author. The fundamental principles which it represents ap pear to me, however, no less true, and more impor tant, than they did when it was first written. I still think that Hegel's analysis of logical forms is the only one which represents their true nature; while the philosophy, if it may be so called, which, in the book, underlies the treatment of the processes of thought, has furnished the lines which my own more serious work has ever since followed.

Bacon, who by his experimental method of research had dug up scholastic philosophy by its roots, preserved in the prima philosophia a purely scholastic spirit. Hobbes retained in his materialistic system the scholastic first mover. However, the best illustration of a return to scholasticism after an attempted emancipa tion from it is Descartes. The present study is an inquiry into the grounds for this conservatism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysic of Experience, Vol. 1 of 4 Very little needs saying by way of preface to the present work. In the year 1880, my little volume, chieﬂy literary in character, Outcast Essays and Verse Translations (which was published in the following year) no longer claiming my divided attention, I applied myself to a thorough going review and re-examination of the philo sophical field. I had already treated the subject in the three works named, together with Outcast Essays, on my title-page, as well as in various articles contributed to mind and other periodicals. But I resolved to go over the entire subject again, foundations, method, results, and see what new facts I could bring to light, what new steps towards completing my system of philosophy I could take, what parts, if any, required to be modified, or perchance retracted, in that system as it stood in my Philosophy of Reﬂection, in 1878.

The profound thinkers of the world have all believed in something in the mind deeper and higher than the ﬂeeting phenomena of the senses. I am convinced that there are powers working which underlie and support all its intelligent exercises. If this be so it is surely of vast moment to determine what these are. This is the field to be allotted to Metaphysics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Theory of Science and Metaphysics With reference to the translation itself only a word is necessary. I have ordinarily translated the word Vorstellzmg by idea, although not infrequently some other word was necessary to bring out the sense clearly; I have written Idea when the German word was Idee, except in some cases where it seemed fair to translate this word by ideal. It goes without saying that I have not attempted to reproduce the German literally, but I hope the meaning has been rendered with accuracy. Much of the translation has been read by Professor {iehl and parts of it by other friends; the author has made numerous minor changes and corrections which will be incorporated in the second German edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysic of Experience, Vol. 4 of 4 Accordingly, the cardinal and ultimate distinc tion between the domains of Logic and Ethic, as practical sciences, is this, that Logic speaks of the ways in which we must think, if we would avoid error in thinking; Ethic of the way in which we must choose, if we would avoid blame in choosing; both thinking and choosing being necessities of our nature. And not only are both of them necessities of our nature, but they are inseparable one from the other it is only by abstraction that they can be sundered. When we call the domain of Logic thought or reasoning, and that of Ethic practice or conduct, we do so only by conceiving thought as perpetually choosing a particular end, namely, knowledge or truth of fact, prior to com paring and judging facts, and practice as per petually comparing the preferabilities of alterna tive actions, prior to the action Of choosing between them. NO thought is possible without volition, and no volition possible without thought. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
