Introduction to Philosophy

Introduction to Philosophy- Psychology Logic, Ethics, Aesthetics and General Philosophy
 
That the need for an Introduction to Philosophy was felt in the past is shown by the record of systematic lectures and the existence of books on the subject. There is, however, at present a curious dearth of books, whether elementary outlines or advanced treatises, to be used as supplementary to oral teaching. Thus we have nothing that can compare for practical value with the Einleitung in die Philosophie, by Johann Georg Walch, 1727, which treated in three books of philosophy and philosophical knowledge in general, of the special philosophical disciplines, and the philosophical mysteries, and gave its readers much historical information and numerous literary references. This work presents a comprehensive and detailed picture not only of the condition of philosophical thought at a particular time but also of the history of philosophy at large.

  • AUTHOR INFO

    OSWALD KULPE

    Oswald Külpe was a German structural psychologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Külpe, who is lesser known than his German mentor, Wilhelm Wundt, revolutionized experimental psychology at his time. In his obituary, Aloys Fischer wrote that “undoubtedly Külpe was the second founder of experimental psychology on German soil; for with every change of base he made it a requirement that an experimental laboratory should be provided.”

  • PREFACE

    This book has been written to supply a need that my experience as a teacher had brought home to me. At the same time, it is meant as a modest contribution to the philosophical work of the present day. On the one hand, I have striven to produce an elementary but complete guide to philosophy, past and present; and have thus been led to include in the work facts and arguments which have hitherto been confined to encyclopedias of philosophy. On the other, I have attempted, whether by way of criticism or by the adoption of a positive attitude to philosophical aims and problems, to further, or at least to stimulate, scientific work in the philosophical field. The reader will find, I hope, that the divergent schools of philosophic thought and the achievements of individual philosophers, ancient and modern, are treated with uniform interest and impartiality, and that the estimate of their value is based upon good reasons.

  • INTRODUCTION

    The Purpose of an Introduction to Philosophy.

    1. That the need for an Introduction to Philosophy was felt in the past is shown by the record of systematic lectures and the existence of books on the subject. That the same need is felt today is proved by the advertisement of introductory lecture courses in philosophy at most universities. There is, however, at present a curious dearth of books, whether elementary outlines or advanced treatises, to be used as supplementary to oral teaching. Thus we have nothing that can compare for practical value with the Einleitung in die Philosophie, by Johann Georg Walch, 1727, which treated in three books of philosophy and philosophical knowledge in general, of the special philosophical disciplines, and the philosophical mysteries, and gave its readers much historical information and numerous literary references. This work presents a comprehensive and detailed picture not only of the condition of philosophical thought at a particular time but also (despite certain peculiar and erroneous historical statements) of the history of philosophy at large.

     2. But not every Introduction to Philosophy has been written from this standpoint. We find that the problem, nominally the same but variously conceived, has been approached by two essentially different paths.
