Hardcover. Condition: g. Reprint. Octavo. XVI, 588pp. Original olive cloth with gold lettering on spine. Josiah Royce's "The World and the Individual" is based on the Gifford Lectures which he delivered at the University of Aberdeen in 1899 and 1900. This First Series of lectures is concerned with defining a consistent theory of the nature of Being, and with defining the reality belonging to the world and to the individual. The First Series includes ten lectures: Lecture I: "Introduction: The Religious Problems and the Theory of Being," Lecture II: "Realism and Mysticism in the History of Thought," Lecture III: "The Independent Beings: A Critical Examination of Realism," Lecture IV: "The Unity of Being, and the Mystical Interpretation," Lecture V: "The Outcome of Mysticism, and the World of Modern Critical Rationalism," Lecture VI: "Validity and Experience," Lecture VII: "The Internal and External Meaning of Ideas," Lecture VIII: "The Fourth Conception of Being," Lecture IX: "Universality and Unity," Lecture X: Individuality and Freedom." Also includes a Supplementary Essay: "The One, the Many, and the Infinite," which describes the theory of Being in F.H. Bradley's philosophy of Absolute Idealism. Moderate shelf wear. Binding somewhat darkened. Sporadic underlining and annotations in pencil throughout (easily erasable). Binding in overall fair to good, interior in good+ condition.

Brown cloth, gilt titles and triple rule, top edge gilt. Royce founded American idealism, and published many works on philosophy and history. In this work he conceptualizes the individual by saying 'to be is to be uniquely related to a whole,' but also that the idealization of our inner purposes enables us to connect them with the purposes of others in a larger whole of which we have no immediate experience: "the real world of our Idealism has to be viewed by us men as a temporal order [in which] purposes are fulfilled, or where finite internal meanings reach their final expression and attain unity with external meanings." Royce was a "versatile Idealist philosopher and teacher whose emphasis on individuality and will, rather than intellect, strongly influenced 20th-century philosophy in the United States. Considering himself an absolute Idealist and borrowing from the works of Hegel, Royce stressed the unity of human thought with the external world. His doctrines were centred on his view of absolute truth, and he declared that everyone must be in agreement with his assertion that such a truth exists, because even those skeptics who would deny this truth automatically affirm it. To deny absolute truth would be to affirm that some 'truthful' statements are possible, and thus the skeptic is caught in a self-contradictory attitude toward the possible existence of 'truth.' Royce's Idealism also extended to religion, the basis of which he conceived to be human loyalty. This 'religion of loyalty' was supplemented by an ethical system that showed his emphasis on the human will. In his words, the highest good would be achieved by 'the willing and practical and thoroughgoing devotion of a person to a cause.' Like the British Idealist F.H. Bradley, whose views resembled his own, Royce enhanced the reputation of European Idealists in his own country. Both men taught a monistic Idealism and helped raise the intellectual standards for philosophical treatment of human problems. Royce's contributions to psychology, social ethics, literary criticism, history, and metaphysics established him as a thinker of widely diverse talents." - Encyclopedia Britannica.
