The present book is concerned with the nature of philosophy and
with the scope of philosophical interest. It combines an analysis
of the major types of philosophical thinking as they emerged in the
history of philosophical ideas with an attempt to examine problems
which recurrent ly emerge in philosophical discourse. It is from
this point of view that the historical and the systematic
approaches are meant to be mutually reinforcing. I am grateful to
my friends who helped me to formulate the line of thinking
expressed in this book: Z. Bar-On, A. Margalit, E. I. I. Poznanski,
Z. Werblovsky and E. Zemach. Some years ago when I visited the
Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara,
Dr. Robert M. Hutchins encouraged me to write the present book. I
am dedicating the book to him not only because of that
encouragement but more importantly because as an educational
thinker Dr. Hutchins represents the position which assigns to the
great ideas of the past validity and value in the analysis of
topical problems of the present."
