Book Synopsis The Problems of Philosophy by : John Grier Hibben
Download or read book The Problems of Philosophy written by John Grier Hibben and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This philosophy book is a perfect introduction for anyone interested in the subject. The central theme of the book is discussion of the big questions (the "Problems" of the title) which philosophy strives to answer. There are other philosophy books with similar titles, including an identically titled book by the famous philosopher Bertrand Russell (also available from Forgotten Books and well worth a look), but this one contains arguably the best introduction to the broadest range of philosophical thought. John Grier Hibben, was broadly educated and seemed to excel at anything he turned his hand to. He graduated as a mathematician, earned a living teaching French and German and was for many years a widely respected preacher. After gaining a PhD he taught philosophy at Princeton and later became its president. The first two chapters of this book discuss the nature and value of philosophy. In the words of Hibben, "Philosophy is concerned with what is, in contrast with that which seems to be." The grand Problem then is to "discover the nature of reality." The other chapters cover discussions of existence, origins, the soul (whether as in the religious meaning or the sum of a consciousness), knowledge, logic, ethics (and it's sub-Problem, politics, or human relations) and finally of art and aesthetics. These are all covered in detail and with a great explanation, comparison and discussion of the different schools of thought, which is what makes this book so fascinating as an introduction to philosophy. If this book has a flaw it is that the different forms of religious thought are given too much attention in comparison to other philosophies, which may not be so interesting for the less religious times in which we now live. There is still plenty here for even the most ardent atheist however. The beauty of the writing is that even though the author is obviously deeply intelligent and knowledgeable about his topic the text remains accessible and the explanations clear and jargon-free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problems of Philosophy There is a current opinion that personal ity and scientific research are antagonistic. Hence, on the one hand, the student would fain doff his personality when he thinks scientifically; and, on the other, he lives as if scientific methods and results had no significance for the freer side of his per sonal development. I myself, in my youth, swore allegiance to such a View, under the overpowering influence of S. Kierkegaard. If I have finally broken its hold on me, I venture to say that that is because I have become better acquainted with both science and the personal life.

Book Synopsis Problems in Philosophy (Classic Reprint) by : John Bascom
Download or read book Problems in Philosophy (Classic Reprint) written by John Bascom and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Philosophy This volume may seem to be constructed on the idea of gathering up the fragments that nothing may be lost. This precept, however, wise as it often is, does not express the law of production in the present case. A few points in philosophy invited more clear or more thorough state ment. This labor I chose to undertake directly and briefly, rather than to attempt it as a part of a more ex tended and systematic work. One evil in philosophy is the accumulation of fruitless discussions. A few positions fortunately taken may be easily lost in their practical value by the extended treatises which accompany them, traversing old ground with no sufl'icient reward. Philoso phy, above most topics, calls for an explicit statement of a few fundamental principles, and a pushing of inquiry in reference to them, till some satisfactory conclusion is reached. The present volume aims to make, in the most direct way, a contribution on the more obscure topics of philosophy. What it has to say is not, taken collectively, extended, and may be still farther reduced by the reader by confining his attention to the one or more subjects which may appeal directly to him. Only one of these discussions - that on liberty - has appeared elsewhere, and that essay has been somewhat modified.

Download or read book Think written by Simon Blackburn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-08-05 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the big questions in life: knowledge, consciousness, fate, God, truth, goodness, justice. It is for anyone who believes there are big questions out there, but does not know how to approach them. Think sets out to explain what they are and why they are important. Simon Blackburn begins by putting forward a convincing case for the study of philosophy and goes on to give the reader a sense of how the great historical figures such as Descartes, Hume, Kant, and Wittgenstein have approached its central themes. Each chapter explains a major issue, and gives the reader a self-contained guide through the problems that philosophers have studied. The large scope of topics covered range from scepticism, the self, mond and body, and freedom to ethics and the arguments surrounding the existence of God. Lively and approachable, this book is ideal for all those who want to learn how the basic techniques of thinking shape our existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Philosophy The Introduction to Philosophy which I here offer to the public gives a general view of philosophical problems and explains the tendencies of the various attempts to solve them. It seeks to provoke the reader to think over the great problems of life. It is in no sense an introduction to a special philosophical system, but it makes a very Wide survey of all the possibilities in the way of solutions. Naturally, it is based upon the author's personal view, as the student of philosophy will easily perceive; but this will not be pressed, or suffered to influence the author's judgment in appraising other systems of thought. In View of the aim of the work I have not found it necessary to burden it with literary references to the historic systems to which reference is made in its pages.

Download or read book Introduction to the History of Modern Philosophy (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Stone Dewing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the History of Modern Philosophy There are at the present time accessible to the English reader many excellent and comprehensive histories of philoso phy. And the only reason for treating the subject again has arisen from the h0pe that a more simple treatment would prove useful to those readers unfamiliar with the technicalities of recent philosophical systems. For various reasons the bistori cal side serves as perhaps the only broad and permanently valuable approach to the whole field of philosophy, while it is a firm conviction with many that some slight acquaintance with the development of philosophical problems is indispensable to their appreciation. This work is intended as an introduction to the subject, and is not the expression of a critical or recon structive attitude; it makes no attempt to trace the logico genetic development of modern thought, nor does it pretend to consider every aspect of historical development.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Management by : Oliver Sheldon
Download or read book The Philosophy of Management written by Oliver Sheldon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taylorism was criticised for its over-simplistic view of what motivated the worker. Oliver Sheldon's theme was that though Taylorism had helped the development of a science of management, such work should not detract from the predominantly human job of the manager to manage. His work prefigures the human relations approach to management theory of Elton Mayo and F. J. Roethlisberger in rejecting the notion that economic incentives largely explain employee behaviour.

Book Synopsis A History of English Philosophy (Classic Reprint) by : W. R. Sorley
Download or read book A History of English Philosophy (Classic Reprint) written by W. R. Sorley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Philosophy The purpose of this book is to trace the history of philosophy in Great Britain from the time when it began to be written in the English language until the end of the Victorian era. There are two ways of writing the history of philosophy. One of them sets out from the standpoint of philosophy as conceived by the writer; the other from that of the philosophers themselves. On the former method the fundamental problems of philosophy will be presented at the outset, and each step taken towards their definition and solution will then be noted; whatever is irrelevant to the main issue will be left out of sight, however important it may have been in the minds of some of the philosophers. On the latter method the subject will be approached as it appeared to each philosopher in turn, and the presen tation of definite concepts and clear issues will emerge gradually as the story progresses. Each of these methods has its own advantages and its own dangers. The former concentrates upon the essential, but it is liable to miss historical proportion by stressing certain features and overlooking others. The latter keeps in close touch with the documents, but care is needed to prevent the meaning of the whole from being obscured by details.

Download or read book Philosophical Problems in the Light of Vital Organization (Classic Reprint) written by Edmund Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophical Problems in the Light of Vital Organization Pondering philosophical questions from the standpoint of natural science, the present writer has during a lifetime of research become convinced that some of the principal standing problems which have vexed ancient and modem thinkers may find their more or less complete solution by having recourse in their interpretation to facts of vital organization. What is consciously realized as nature takes, undeniably, place in living beings, as an outcome of their peculiar constitution and its inherent faculties. It seems, therefore, prima facie probable that the direct way to gain a proximate understanding of what is thus consciously revealed as nature is to show by what means of vital organization and functional activity such conscious revelation becomes possible. It has lately been rendered obvious, even to naturalistic thinkers, that what we consciously experience as nature cannot be the mere outcome of atomic mechanics, that the materialistic and mechanical hypotheses are incompetent to account for all that takes place in nature; incompetent, in truth, adequately to account for any natural occurrence, whether physical or psychical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profound Problems in Theology and Philosophy In Philosophy there is the profound question of Sub stance - that which is properly regarded as the primary foundation of what we experience as the two sub-depart ments of matter and of mind. All that can be hoped for here, is to formulate such definitions as shall present a natural concatenation of these departments with the primal foundation: such, moreover, as will go to ex pound the relationship of objects, as differentiated from one another; and further, such as will elucidate the operations of what is called Cause, in producing the phenomenon which is called Efiect; and in this way to expound the eventualities of nature in all their complex and minute variety. This. In fact, is the problem given forth by Hume, and left unsolved by Kant - a problem which constitutes the Philosophy of law.
