Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Concept Purpose: A Philosophical Thesis

But this position, inasmuch as it does not cover all the facts, is unsatisfactory. In that reflection is an active process of the mind, acting upon the ideas Of perception and producing other ideas; the ideas show evidences of an activity Of the mind which has not yet been taken into consideration. The activity Of the mind is a fun damental thought with Kant. The problem between Nominalism and Conceptualism does not exist for him. The mind cannot think perceptions directly, imme diately. NO sooner are percepts received than they are classed under concepts, and must be thought through concepts. But the mind can think concepts directly, without the intervention Of any further idea. The reason transforms and synthesizes ideas, in accordance with the forms and categories, because it is the very nature and constitution Of the mind to do this very thing. An a priori philosophy goes beyond the given, and transcends experience.

Excerpt from The Concept Purpose: A Philosophical Thesis

In the unity of consciousness, we find the intellectual side of life and the volitional side of life very closely bound up together. We never find in experience either the intellectual or the volitional elements independent and alone. In psychology we find neuroses and psychoses inevitably linked together; and if we examine ideas, and try to determine their nature, we again find the intellectual and the volitional closely intertwined. Both are united in a single consciousness. According to the philosophy of Locke, ideas are the objects of thought. Locke's definitions of "Idea" are as follows: An idea is "whatsoever is the object of the understanding, when a man thinks" . . . "whatever it is which the mind can be employed about in thinking." Ideas are the material with which the mind works. They are obtained wholly from experience. They come into the mind as the results, the effects, produced through the means of sensation.
