Originally published in 1947. This book looks at contemporary
conundrums in philosophical tendencies, bringing the reader a
first-principles review of the purpose of such enquiries in
relation to modern life. It presents the importance of the history
of the development of philosophical thought, beginning in Part 1
with perception. Significant definitions and theories are
identified and later refinements discussed - in particular
conceptualism and its development from the Greeks through Berkeley
to modern realism and its limitations and critiques. Part 2 brings
problems identified by past thinkersto the fore, from Plato's forms
to Christian theology, in an examination of the apparent dichotomy
between metaphysics and scientific methods. Part 3 examines the
Rationalist and the Empiricist attacks on Scepticism and Kant's
reconciliation of the differences of both. This provides the
context and structure for discussion of the works of Hegel, and
ultimate refutation thereof as a confusion between metaphysics and
theology. Part 4 identifies the developments in thinking of
Positivism, both Modern and Logical, and the New Synthesis of
Alexander and Whitehead as the most recent approach.
