The Persistent Problems of Philosophy: An Introduction to Metaphysics, Through the Study of Modern Systems (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explore how early modern ideas converge on a single reality .
This lively introduction traces the shift from Descartes and Spinoza toward a monistic, idealist view of the world.
From Kant’s dualism to the post-Kantian move toward an all-encompassing consciousness, the book surveys key systems that shaped metaphysics. It explains how thinkers like Fichte, Schelling, and Schopenhauer push toward a unified understanding of reality, while weighing their strengths and limits. Clear, accessible prose makes complex arguments approachable for readers new to philosophy and those revisiting the history of ideas.
The work foregrounds the big questions about substance, self, and the nature of reality, and shows how these debates connect to ethics, religion, and knowledge. It emphasizes critical appraisal and the evolving quest to ground reality in a single, coherent framework without sacrificing depth or nuance.
- How Spinoza’s and Kant’s ideas compare in their view of reality and consciousness
- How Fichte, Schelling, and Schopenhauer move toward monistic spiritualism
- Key debates on self, substance, and the relationship between mind and world
Ideal for readers of philosophy histories or those seeking a structured path through modern metaphysical systems.
