Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In 'Matter, Life and Value', C. E. M. Joad provides a comprehensive and systematic investigation into the foundational elements of existence. This work addresses the philosophical tension between materialist perspectives and the recognition of life and value as independent realities. Joad argues for a pluralistic worldview, contending that the universe cannot be reduced to simple physical components, but must instead be understood through the distinct categories of matter, life, and the objective realm of values.The text explores critical themes in metaphysics and ethics, focusing on the nature of consciousness, the mechanics of vitalism, and the inherent status of truths such as beauty and goodness. By challenging the prevailing scientific naturalism of his era, Joad builds a case for a reality that is tiered and purposeful. 'Matter, Life and Value' remains a significant text for understanding the development of 20th-century realism and the philosophical defense of spiritual and ethical values.Ideal for readers interested in the intersection of science and philosophy, this work offers a clear and persuasive articulation of complex metaphysical problems. Joad's ability to synthesize broad intellectual traditions into a cohesive narrative ensures that 'Matter, Life and Value' continues to be a relevant study in the search for meaning within the material world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Matter, Life and Value' is a profound philosophical inquiry into the fundamental nature of reality and the hierarchy of existence. Written by C. E. M. Load, this work challenges the prevailing materialistic trends of its time by proposing a multi-layered metaphysical structure that distinguishes between the physical world, the phenomenon of life, and the realm of objective values.The text explores how these three distinct categories interact, seeking to provide a cohesive framework that accounts for both the mechanical laws of science and the teleological aspirations of the human spirit. Load meticulously examines the limitations of monism, arguing that a purely materialist or purely idealist worldview fails to capture the complexity of experience. Instead, the author advocates for a pluralistic approach, where Life acts as a bridge between the inert Matter of the universe and the transcendent Value that gives human existence meaning.Navigating themes of consciousness, biological evolution, and ethical objectivity, 'Matter, Life and Value' remains a significant contribution to early 20th-century speculative philosophy. It offers a rigorous defense of the reality of values-such as beauty, truth, and goodness-as independent entities that are as real as the physical objects we perceive, making it essential reading for those interested in metaphysics and moral philosophy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
