Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books, as well as men, may have taking or repelling ways, which cannot be subjected to any further analysis, but must be accepted as an ultimate fact. We are sympathetically inclined toward a book if, irrespective of the drift of its contents, it gives evidence of a sincere striving after the truth and shows a freedom from cant, though we may be compelled to reject both its fundamental assumptions and final conclusions. A case in point is the present publication which, though antagonistic to all our philosophical tenets, yet arouses a sympathetic interest, largely due to the author's candor and manifest devotion to the truth. His enthusiasm betrays itself in the eloquent and exalted diction, verging sometimes on poetry and a trifle too rhapsodic for a sober treatise on metaphysics. His style recalls the cultural breadth of the lamented Professor Royce and the genial warmth of William James, both of whom the author claims as his teachers and whom he emulates as his highest models. Even when coming to close grips with an opposing system, the author never loses his scholarly placidity and the air of superior tolerance; the modern philosopher is not sufficiently concerned about the claims of objective truth, which at best he regards as an elusive ideal or an unattainable goal, to allow it to ruffle his temper or to make him indulge in violent controversy. It would not be easy to designate the author's system by one clear-cut epithet, though we may not be far from the truth when we state that it seems to tend in the direction of realism, as the title of the book would suggest. That the author has reached a bona-fide realism, however, we dare not maintain. The old-fashioned theory of substances, at all events, he rejects. He speaks, moreover, in terms which possess a strong subjective flavor. Things are to him "individual blocks," "thought contexts," "embodiments of purpose"; they "are individual by the purposes which select them and which they fulfil"; their reality depends on whether "they make a difference to a perceiving subject." Their value is determined by the experiential background out of which they roll. A primary law of things is interpenetration; hence, they appear in more than one conceptual context, they overlap and have rough edges and a fringe. --The American Ecclesiastical Review, Volume 57

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Persistent Problems of Philosophy: An Introduction to Metaphysics, Through the Study of Modern Systems It is only fair to point out, finally, that the book, though mainly exposition and criticism, is written from the stand point of a metaphysical theory fairly well defined. This I have indicated in my last chapter. My philosophical predilections have inevitably colored my criticisms; but I trust that they have not distorted my interpretation of the thought Of the philosophers whom I have considered, and that the book may, therefore, be of service to those who do not agree with its estimates or with its conclusions.

Accord ing to this method, the text-book and the lectures in class should serve to give a general View of the subject but should play a far less important part than the stu dent's independent reading and study. The results of this reading and study should be expressed in a weekly, or better fortnightly, essay submitted to the preceptor and afterward discussed with him in an informal con ference held preferably in his private study and attended by not more than three or four students. This enables the teacher to deal with his students as individuals and to vary greatly the amount and kind of reading he as signs to each. Some will do not only more difficult reading than others but three or four times the amount of reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Logic and Metaphysics The mediaeval schoolmen were, no doubt, honestly of opinion that the Analytics of Aris totle was the instrument or organon of truth. But from the time that Bacon brought out his new Organum, the Old logic began gradually to fall year by year more into disfavour. It was seen that no new truth could be gained by means of the old logic, the conclusion of every syllogism being in fact contained in the premisses, and therefore no advance could be made beyond those premisses. And although it has been many years before this was openly put into words and taught, yet the practical effects resulting from a study of the Inductive Sciences were seen to be so much more than anything that could arise from the study of the Old logic, that the latter became at length almost discontinued to give way to its rival.

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 Outlines From Plato, an Introduction to Greek Metaphysics The author, however, admits that his original design was not to illustrate Plato. It was rather to put into Greek dress the more permanent problems of Metaphysics in all ages, and to show that the questions which to-day divide philosophers were most of them raised and debated years ago by the Greeks, with all the additional power and lucidity that their unrivalled language lent them. Such an object proved subsequently to be chimerical and, having determined to draw his illustrations of these problems from the writings of Plato, the compiler was gradually obliged to limit himself to a rudimentary exegesis of Plato. That this contains very likely many serious defects he is well aware, but he trusts that they are not of sufficient moment seriously to mislead beginners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics is one of the most important works written by this towering figure in twentieth-century philosophy. It includes a powerful reinterpretation of Greek thought, a sweeping vision of Western history, and a glimpse of the reasons behind Heidegger's support of the Nazi Party in the 1930s. Heidegger tries to reawaken the "question of Being" by challenging some of the most enduring prejudices embedded in Western philosophy and in our everyday practices and language. Furthermore, he relates this question to the insights of Greek tragedy into the human condition and to the political and cultural crises of modernity. This new translation makes this work more accessible to students than ever before. It combines smoothness with accuracy and provides conventional translations of Greek passages that Heidegger translated unconventionally. There are also extensive notes, a German-English glossary, and an introduction that discusses the history of the text, its basic themes, and its place in Heidegger's oeuvre.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics, first published in 1953, is a highly significant work by a towering figure in twentieth-century philosophy. The volume is known for its incisive analysis of the Western understanding of Being, its original interpretations of Greek philosophy and poetry, and its vehement political statements. This new companion to the Introduction to Metaphysics presents an overview of Heidegger's text and a variety of perspectives on its interpretation from more than a dozen highly respected contributors. In the editors' introduction to the book, Richard Polt and Gregory Fried alert readers to the important themes and problems of Introduction to Metaphysics. The contributors then offer original essays on three broad topics: the question of Being, Heidegger and the Greeks, and politics and ethics. Both for readers who are approaching Heidegger for the first time and for those who are studying Heidegger on an advanced level, this Companion offers a clear guide to one of the philosopher's most difficult yet most influential writings.
