An Introduction to Philosophy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Introduction to Philosophy

The Introduction to Philosophy which I here offer to the public gives a general view of philosophical problems and explains the tendencies of the various attempts to solve them. It seeks to provoke the reader to think over the great problems of life. It is in no sense an introduction to a special philosophical system, but it makes a very wide survey of all the possibilities in the way of solutions. Naturally, it is based upon the author's personal view, as the student of philosophy will easily perceive; but this will not be pressed, or suffered to influence the author's judgment in appraising other systems of thought.

In view of the aim of the work I have not found it necessary to burden it with literary references to the historic systems to which reference is made in its pages.
