Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a comprehensive view of human knowledge as the product of the mind's activity, focusing on the subjective aspect of human perception and the objective knowledge acquired through cognition. The author draws on Kant to explore the relationship between our sensory experience and the rational concepts that help us to interpret and understand it, applying this perspective to explore the deeper questions of being, freedom, and God.

Excerpt from Lectures on Metaphysics and Logic, Vol. 1 of 4

The following Lectures on Metaphysics constitute the first portion of the Biennial Course which the lamented Author was in the habit of delivering during the period of his occupation of the Chair of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh.

In giving these Lectures to the world, it is due, both to the Author and to his readers, to acknowledge that they do not appear in that state of completeness which might have been expected, had they been prepared for publication by the Author himself. As Lectures on Metaphysics, - whether that term be taken in its wider or its stricter sense,-they are confessedly imperfect. The Author himself, adopting the Kantian division of the mental faculties into those of Knowledge, Feeling, and Conation, considers the Philosophy of Mind as com prehending, in relation to each of these, the three great subdivisions of Psychology, or the Science of the Phaeno mena of Mind; Nomology, or the Science of its Laws; and Ontology, or the Science of Results and Inferences.
