Must be attended to; the difficulties of this life must be met and van quished; and if in the midst of the struggles requisite to avoid being trodden under foot in the crowd, those great questions (which sooneror later occur to every reasonable mind) pre sent themselves, it is not as curious contem plations, matters of philosophical research mere ly, which may occupy a portion of the time which is gliding away in the lap of ease and luxury, but as problems whose solution involves every thing worth caring for in time or in eter nity; problems whose due solution may gild a life which has no other gilding, may set fortune at defiance, direct our steps in difficulties, and, like oil upon the waves, spread calm where all was turmoil and danger before: it is then that intellectual science loses its character of barren speculation; every step in advance raises us farther above the mists of earth; and the heart warms, and the limbs grow strong, at seeing the prospect brightening m the distance, under the unclouded beams of truth and love.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Critical History of Philosophical Theories Philosophy is the result obtained by the employment of reason in the discovery of those fundamental principles that give unity and harmony to knowledge. It seeks to reduce complexity to simplicity, and multiplicity to unity, and to find the ultimate reality. Facts acquired by observation arc explained by reason. The history of philosophy is the record of these speculations and their results. A critical history of philosophy is a discriminating examination of the theories of the philosophers of the various schools, in order to test and confirm their truth, to expose their errors, to trace the relations of the different systems, the conflict of their principles, the occasions of their appearance, and the order of their development. To understand the principles maintained by the philosophers of the various schools, the conflict of their principles, the reasons for their theories, and the connection of the various systems, is to understand philosophy itself. The phenomenal world is the product of two factors-the external world and the human mind; philosophy deals with both. Uncritical thought accepts appearance as the sole reality. Science classifies phenomena and determines their laws, while philosophy attempts to find a rational explanation of phenomena as facts of experience. That is, Science treats of phenomena and their laws, while philosophy seeks for causes and the rational explanation of phenomena. Nothing can be more interesting or more stimulating to thought than the study of the relations of philosophy and science. It will be found that no system of philosophy is without some merit, though it may be only a crude beginning, or a one-sided attempt to give an account of the mystery of existence. Broad views are requisite, if we wish to avoid the errors of all partial or incomplete systems. As the mission of philosophy is to give a rational explanation of the phenomenal, it cannot, therefore, disregard the facts of experience, and still be true to its calling. On the other hand, to deal exclusively with phenomena, discarding the necessary principles which afford their rational explanation, is to abandon the guide of reason, or to resolve it into transformed sensation. Herein is revealed the chief conflict in philosophy, as it exists between the empirical and rational schools.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Pragmatism: A Philosophical Interpretation of Experience The significant fact in recent philosophy is the conscious demand for reconstruction of its method, - a reconstruction of its whole purpose and procedure, not merely a patching-up of the existing machinery of reflective thought. This demand implies the breaking down of the customary division of philosophy into theory of knowledge and theory of reality, and the treatment of these as phases of a general theory of experience. The course of discussion in the past few years between the leading schools of thought has made evident the need of a new statement of the issues involved. No one of the proposed systems has been generally accepted. The truth must lie somewhere in their uncriticised postulates. The present work is an attempt to set forth the necessary assumptions of a philosophy in which experience becomes self-conscious as method. This demand for reconstruction implies also a synthesizing of the fundamental underlying ideas in a form which the man of average intelligence and education may understand.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Intelligibility and the Philosophy of Nothingness: Three Philosophical Essays Nishida has written extensively on philosophy and his complete works fill twelve volumes. The present work consists of trans lations of three of his studies that all belong to a comparatively late phase in his development. Nishida has said of himself: I have always been a miner of ore; I have never managed to refine it. The absence of a last systematic refinement may indeed be felt by the reader of the present selection. Still, the reader may be impressed by the strangely new experience of life here encountered, whether his heart is moved or his mind is made to think. Nishida uses Western concepts to express his philosophical re ection. The reader may not always perceive this, however, since Nishida's basic experience, with Zen at its center, cannot properly be formulated in Western terms and needs the structure of a new philosophical theory. The approach to his thought is, therefore, not easy. Yet we are convinced that Nishida's philosophy can open a new way towards the mutual understanding of East and West. In the hope of contributing to this mutual comprehension, upon which a new philosophy of mankind can be erected, we venture to offer the present publication to Western readers.

Book Description
Excerpt from First Steps in Philosophy: Physical and Ethical Philosophy, whatever else it may mean, in volves the clarification of our fundamental con ceptions. We naturally aspire to a complete view of the world, a theory of the universe. But we have first to clear up our minds as to certain elementary notions. We are using almost every day such terms, for instance, as matter and duty - what do we mean by them? Can the thoughts we chance to have about them stand the test of analysis and criticism? Are they clear and self consistent? We cannot successfully build a house till we have tested the soundness and strength of our materials. As little can we construct a philosophical system, till we have tested the ele mentary ideas that are to enter into it and help constitute it. It is idle to try to develop a the istic, monistic, materialistic or any other theory of the universe, till we have searchingly asked ourselves these preliminary questions.
