About this title

Synopsis

""Problems of Life and Mind, First Series, V1: The Foundations of a Creed"" is a philosophical work by George Henry Lewes, first published in 1874. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the foundations of a creed, the second part on the nature of mind, and the third part on the nature of matter. In the first part, Lewes discusses the importance of having a coherent belief system and argues that a creed must be based on reason and experience. He also explores the relationship between faith and reason, and the role of intuition in shaping our beliefs. In the second part, Lewes delves into the nature of mind, examining the relationship between mind and body, and the possibility of free will. He also discusses the nature of consciousness and the problem of mental causation. In the third part, Lewes explores the nature of matter, examining the relationship between matter and energy, and the possibility of a materialistic worldview. Throughout the book, Lewes draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources to explore these complex and fundamental questions about the nature of life and the universe.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
