The world and the individual Vol 1; Gifford lectures delivered before the University of Aberdeen PREFACE THE Lectures upon which this volume is based were delivered before the University of Aberdeen between January 11 and February 1, 1899. In several respects, as this century closes, it is returning to the kind of philosophic activity that Bradley himself thought so critical to philosophy, an activity involving not only an examination of issues from the perspective of more than one school of thought, but a revitalization of metaphysical enquiry as well. This helps us to realize, concluded Lotze, that being thought does not really include objects, while objects do not really include the picture of them.43 Kant had made this point in the tran- scendental doctrine of judgment. Lotze then introduced a key concept in his and Hegel s philosophy: reference (Bedeu- tung). THE CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY OF PHILOSOPHY, SECOND EDITION ROBERT AUDI P R E FAC E T O T HE SECOND EDITION In taking account of the responses from readers of the First Edition, we have tried to do as much as possible without making the Dictionary too bulky for a single volume.

Honderich (ed.), The Oxford Companion to Philosophy (Oxford University Press, 1995), p. 666: "Philosophy is rationally critical thinking, of a more or less systematic kind about the general nature of the world (metaphysics or theory of existence), the justification of belief (epistemology or theory of knowledge), and the conduct of life (ethics or theory of Inspired Greek philosophy, the doctrine exercised a formative influence on the development of Western philosophy and theology. Its presence reverberates throughout an entire body of thought. Medieval debates over simplicity invoked fundamental problems in metaphysics, semantics, logic, and psychology, as well as theology. It will be argued, or at least suggested, that Dedekind may have taken the term thought-world,and the notion signified it, from the German philosopher Her- mann Lotze, under whom Dedekind followed a course in philosophy as a student at Göttingen, and in whose Logic the term thought-world,or Gedankenwelt,is a technical term. Rudolph Hermann Lotze (1817 1881) mediated the transition from the exuberance of German idealism, in the first half of the nineteenth century, to the sober, scholarly and scientific ethos that came to prevail in the second half. He adapted the notion of chief or defining problems in the philosophical sub-disciplines, inherited from Herbart, and brought opposing approaches to bear To ask other readers questions about The Spirit of Modern Philosophy, please sign up.

A Philosophy Of The Beloved Community The "classic age of American philosophy" is dominated the figures of Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and Josiah Royce. Even though they differ substantially among themselves, the first three of these thinkers are frequently grouped together as pragmatists. Plotinus. Plotinus ( /plɒˈtaɪnəs/; Greek: Plōtinos; c. 204/5 270) was a major Greek-speaking philosopher of the ancient world. In his philosophy there are three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. His teacher was Ammonius Saccas and he is of the Platonic tradition.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY 2nd edition O oakeshott, michael (1901 1990) Michael Oakeshott, a wide-ranging thinker mostly known for his work in social and political philosophy, was born in Chelsfield, Kent, on December 11, 1901. Oakeshott read history at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and graduated in 1923. He returned as a fellow in 1925. Philosophy represents a long toil in thought and word, and it is but natural that those who have toiled long in inward thought should use certain concepts, and bundles of concepts, with their algebraic exponents, in a way entirely bewildering to the outer world. A good history of philosophy, whatever its shortcomings, will, among other things, give the reader a perspective on philosophy: philosophy as in-process, the relations of philosophy to life and to the other academic disciplines, show how the attempt to understand the world must introduce radical elements of novelty.
