Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics If, however, we turn from the inspiring title to the writ ings themselves, illusions about the supernatural character of metaphysics tend to disappear. There is, so we are told by the Stagirite, a science which investigates exist ence as existence and whatever belongs to existence as such. It is identical with none of the sciences which are defined less generally. For none of these professedly considers existence as existence, but each, restricting itself to some aspect of it, investigates the general aspect only incidentally, as do the mathematical sciences. The em phasis is thus put by Aristotle on fact and on nature, but it is put on fact and nature as we attempt to View them with at once the least and with the greatest restriction: with the least restriction, because we are invited to View nature in the light of her most comprehensive characters; with the greatest restriction, because we are invited to view her stripped of her wonderful diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Book in Metaphysics Lastly, I wished to adapt the book especially to the Oxford or preceptorial method of instruction. 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 Metaphysics: A Lecture But it must not be forgotten that the old is not always the false, nor the new always the true, as was illustrated in a notice once given of a book - perhaps one of the popular contributions to modern science - ia which notice it was remarked, by way of commenda tion, that the book in question had in it much that was new and also much that was true; and by way of eriti cism, that what was true in it was old and what was new in it was false. The only rational rule of mental pro cedure is to prove all things, whether new or old, and hold fast to that which is good. By the faithful asser tion of this catholic principle of judgment, we loyally venture to believe that our queen is destined to recover the crown and royal state of which she has been de prived, and to hold again her position in the universi ties of the world, less exclusively and pretentiously, no doubt, and yet with an empire subject to her restored Sceptre, embracing whole kingdoms which, under the old regime, were not yet discovered. The science of the present reveals, daily, that it is not self-sufficient, and that, just as a building of large and imposing dimen sions requires beneath its super-structure a foundation that sinks out of the view of the senses, so science rests on the transcendental and unseen realities of the world of metaphysics. Faith is more profound than reason. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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: Excerpt from Outlines of Metaphysics The chief difficulty of such an attempt lies in the necessity of combining two requirements that appear almost incompatible with one another. A text-book that is to be of any real value to the student must be alive. To point to the various problems as if they were speci mens in a museum, would obviously be to fail entirely in the object that is aimed at -viz., that of bringing out the vital relationships of the various points that have to be considered. On the other hand, a text-book of this kind must not aim at superseding, in the minds of those who use it, the works to which it is an intro duction. I have kept both these points steadily in view; but I can hardly hope that I have been completely successful in avoiding the dangers to which I refer. My aim at least has been to produce a book which is a living unity within itself, and which yet points continu ally outwards to the larger life of the speculative thought of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metaphysics or the Philosophy of Consciousness, Phenomenal and Real Essay, in the meaning of the word Metaphysics - a word formerly appropriated to the ontology and pneumato logy of the schools, but now understood as equally applicable to all those inquiries which have for their Object to trace the various branches of human know ledge to their first principles in the constitution of our nature. This change, he continues, can be ao counted for only by a change in the philosophical pursuits of Locke's successors - a change from the idle abstractions and subtleties of the dark ages, to studies subservient to the culture of the understanding; to the successful exercise of its faculties and powers and to a knowledge of the great ends and purposes of our being. It may be regarded, therefore, as a palpable and incontrovertible proof of a corresponding progress of reason in this part Of the world.

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.
