Excerpt from Philosophy, Its Scope and Relations: An Introductory Course of Lectures
Throughout the book what few editorial additions there are other than references and the division into sections - will be found enclosed in square brackets. The lecture form has been retained, and none but small and obvious verbal changes have been made because the editor's aim throughout has been simply to place the author's work before the reader as he left it. The attempt by emendation and addition to approximate to what the work would have been had the author himself been permitted to finish it, would - the reader will probably allow - have been an unwarrantable liberty even in one who felt confident of his competence for the task.
Special thanks are due to Mr. G. C. Rankin, Scholar of Trinity Collegi, for valuable help in preparing the lectures for press and in compiling the Table of Contents: he has also provided the Index. The proofs have all been carefully read over by Mrs. Sidgwick: innumerable corrections are due wholly to her.

Excerpt from Philosophy, Its Scope and Relations: An Introductory Course of Lectures
Some three months before his death, when he knew that his illness was likely to be fatal, Professor Sidgwick asked the editor to take charge of certain of his uncompleted works which he thought might be found suitable for publication. About the same time he dictated an account of them and made various suggestions in writing concerning their treatment, substantially repeating what he had before said in person. The present book he described as "a course of eleven lectures, together with three printed lectures, in which I attempt to define the scope of Philosophy and its relation to other studies, especially Psychology, Logic, History, etc." "This," he adds, "I judge might with advantage be published. It wants revision. In the earlier part there would be some difficulty in fitting in the printed lectures with the oral comments on them, and in the later part there are some repetitions which would have to be cut out."
Professor Sidgwick had long ago planned such an introduction to the study of philosophy. In 1892 he delivered a short course of lectures bearing the title of the present work. These, considerably expanded, were repeated as Elements of Philosophy (Theoretical and Practical) in the two following years. In 1897 he began working up this material, and three lectures, dealing severally with the Scope of Philosophy, its Relation to Psychology, and the Scope of Metaphysics, were privately printed. But his further progress was temporarily - and, as it has proved, was permanently - interrupted in consequence of his undertaking to deliver in 1898 and onwards the complete course of lectures on 'Metaphysics,' as specified in the syllabus of the Moral Sciences Tripos.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the nature of philosophy and its relationship to other disciplines. The author argues that philosophy seeks to unify knowledge by examining the principles and methods of all fields of study, including ethics, politics, and history. Philosophy's unifying function goes beyond identifying similarities; it also explains fundamental differences. In contrast to the view that philosophy only studies the phenomenal world, the author maintains that it also seeks to understand the underlying reality of things. Drawing on examples from the history of science, the author illustrates how philosophical insights have led to breakthroughs in understanding the natural world. By examining the relationship between different disciplines and the nature of reality, this book provides a comprehensive foundation for philosophical inquiry.
