Excerpt from The Principles of Understanding: An Introduction to Logic From the Standpoint of Personal Idealism
But the most convinced enthusiast could not. Claim that philosophy has given guidance to men engaged in the sort of business which is commonly called useful. I leave aside the general effect of training. It is plain enough that men who have traversed a philosophic curriculum gain advantage thereby for an ordinary professional career; but this is due more to the mental gymnastic than to any specific instruction which their teachers have imparted. What statesman makes any appeal Ito political philosophy; what moral reformer makes appeal to ethics; what educator who professes to train the understanding makes appeal to logic? So patent has it been that philosophy can give no practical advice that Its incapacity has been put forward almost as an axiom. Minerva's owl, said Hegel, cannot begin its flight till the shades of evening have begun to fall. But, I think, that owl has hooted long enough. Hegel's alleged necessity of thought is nonsense. It is the duty of philosophy, I maintain, to establish theoretical principles on such matters as politics, moral conduct and education; and these principles should be valuable for the guidance of practical men.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book claims the study of logic should center on the actual workings of our own minds and the minds of others we know, as opposed to a priori laws of thought that may not exist independently of anything that exemplifies them. The author insists that logic needs to give an account of the search for truth, but that the main use of understanding is to help us get what we want in order to live. Consequently, this book argues that the whole of understanding should come within the purview of the logician, from the lowest to the highest levels of intellectual activity. The author further argues that there is a non-sensuous element in understanding, that is, a cognition of form, or noesis, which is the essential element of understanding, and which is all-pervasive. This book defends interactionism, the doctrine of common sense, on which men have always acted in practical affairs. This, in turn, necessitates the adoption of the hypothesis of the soul, an extensive and complicated machine that manages the body. The author goes on to discuss the nature of understanding, the relation of understanding to other elements of the soul, and the process of understanding. This book concludes by arguing that the insights on the main subject of understanding are significant because they help us understand the processes of our own minds and the minds of persons whom we know. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
