Excerpt from Philosophy, Its Scope and Relations: An Introductory Course of Lectures
Throughout the book what few editorial additions there are other than references and the division into sections - will be found enclosed in square brackets. The lecture form has been retained, and none but small and obvious verbal changes have been made because the editor's aim throughout has been simply to place the author's work before the reader as he left it. The attempt by emendation and addition to approximate to what the work would have been had the author himself been permitted to finish it, would - the reader will probably allow - have been an unwarrantable liberty even in one who felt confident of his competence for the task.
Special thanks are due to Mr. G. C. Rankin, Scholar of Trinity Collegi, for valuable help in preparing the lectures for press and in compiling the Table of Contents: he has also provided the Index. The proofs have all been carefully read over by Mrs. Sidgwick: innumerable corrections are due wholly to her.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the nature of philosophy and its relationship to other disciplines. The author argues that philosophy seeks to unify knowledge by examining the principles and methods of all fields of study, including ethics, politics, and history. Philosophy's unifying function goes beyond identifying similarities; it also explains fundamental differences. In contrast to the view that philosophy only studies the phenomenal world, the author maintains that it also seeks to understand the underlying reality of things. Drawing on examples from the history of science, the author illustrates how philosophical insights have led to breakthroughs in understanding the natural world. By examining the relationship between different disciplines and the nature of reality, this book provides a comprehensive foundation for philosophical inquiry.
