About this title

Synopsis

""Philosophy and Unity"" is a comprehensive book that explores the concept of unity in various fields of philosophy. The author, Robert F. Harvanek, delves into three main areas of study: the unity of metaphysics, unity in contemporary personality theory, and unity in philosophical instruction. In the first section, Harvanek examines the idea of unity in metaphysics, discussing how different philosophical schools of thought have approached the question of how the universe is unified. He explores the ideas of ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato, as well as more modern thinkers like Immanuel Kant and Hegel. The second section of the book focuses on unity in contemporary personality theory. Harvanek explores how different psychological theories attempt to explain the unity of the self, including theories of identity, self-concept, and self-esteem. He also discusses how these theories relate to broader philosophical questions about the nature of the self and the relationship between the individual and society. Finally, in the third section of the book, Harvanek examines the role of unity in philosophical instruction. He argues that a unified approach to teaching philosophy can help students better understand the interconnectedness of different philosophical concepts and ideas. He also discusses the challenges of teaching philosophy in a way that is both comprehensive and accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. Overall, ""Philosophy and Unity"" offers a thoughtful exploration of the concept of unity in philosophy, providing insights into how different fields of study can be integrated to create a more holistic understanding of the world around us.Papers For Discussion At The Fifteenth Annual Convention Of The Jesuit Philosophical Association.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
