Book Description
THE LOGIC OF STOICISM.--Stoicism existed as a germ in the Cynic philosophy (and also in Socrates) as did Epicureanism in Aristippus. Zeno was the pupil of Crates. In extreme youth he opened a school at Athens in the Poecile. The Poecile was a portico; portico in Greek is stoa, hence the name of Stoic. Zeno taught for about thirty years; then, on the approach of age, he died by his own hand. Zeno thought, as did Epicurus and Socrates, that philosophy should only be the science of life and that the science of life lay in wisdom.

Book Description
Philosophical Interpreters of the Universe, of the Creation and Constitution of the World. PHILOSOPHY.--The aim of philosophy is to seek the explanation of all things: the quest is for the first causes of everything, and also how all things are, and finally why, with what design, with a view to what, things are. That is why, taking "principle" in all the senses of the word, it has been called the science of first principles. Philosophy has always existed. Religions--all religions--are philosophies. They are indeed the most complete. But, apart from religions, men have sought the causes and principles of everything and endeavoured to acquire general ideas. These researches apart from religious dogmas in pagan antiquity are the only ones with which we are here to be concerned. THE IONIAN SCHOOL: THALES.--The Ionian School is the most ancient school of philosophy known. It dates back to the seventh century before Christ. Thales of Miletus, a natural philosopher and astronomer, as we should describe him, believed matter--namely, that of which all things and all beings are made--to be in perpetual transformation, and that these transformations are produced by powerful beings attached to every portion of matter. These powerful beings were gods. Everything, therefore, was full of gods. His philosophy was a mythology. He also thought that the essential element of matter was water, and that it was water, under the influence of the gods, which transformed itself into earth, air, and fire, whilst from water, earth, air, and fire came everything that is in nature....

Book Description
This is a charming book in its masterfulness, in its clearness, in its perspective, and in its devotion to its own message. It is not a book for one who must read for personal achievement in any field other than philosophy, direct or indirect. The study of philosophy may be professional or amateurish, a vocation or an avocation, business or pleasure. This book will greatly help anyone who would like to know the junction points in the highway of philosophy. Few men have ever presented philosophy from this standpoint as effectively or entertainingly as has Emile Faguet. If an untraveled person wishes to go to the Pacific Coast for the first time and has only four or eight or twelve weeks in which to do it there is not much that he needs to know. He should seek someone who has been by every route, who knows the lines of interest and who will tell him his best route, what he will see on that route, where he better stop off, how long to stop off, and what to see when he stops off, and a wise adviser will not waste one minute in portraying the things he will not see on other routes if he goes by this route. This wise adviser will say, I should go via the Northwestern and Union Pacific, because you do not have to change cars, etc., etc., but it is too bad you will not see the Grand Canyon, because that is the biggest thing, etc. The chief beauty of "Initiation Into Philosophy" is that Emile Faguet advises one how to come from the antiquities of Heraclitus and Pythagoras to Schopenhauer. Spencer and Compte by a direct, comfortable and luxurious route without wasting his time or yours in telling what one might learn if he went off on sidelines from time to time.

It affords an adequate idea of the march of facts and of ideas. The reader is led, somewhat rapidly, from the remote origins to the most recent efforts of the human mind. It should be a convenient repertory to which the mind may revert in order to see broadly the general opinion of an epoch--and what connected it with those that followed or preceded it. It aims above all at being a frame in which can conveniently be inscribed, in the course of further studies, new conceptions more detailed and more thoroughly examined. It will have fulfilled its design should it incite to research and meditation, and if it prepares for them correctly. PART I. ANTIQUITY CHAPTER I. BEFORE SOCRATES CHAPTER II.
