""A Realistic Universe: An Introduction to Metaphysics"" is a philosophical book written by John Elof Boodin in 1916. The book explores the nature of reality and the fundamental principles of metaphysics. Boodin argues that reality is not just a product of our perceptions, but that it exists independently of our minds. He also discusses the relationship between mind and matter, the nature of causation, and the concept of free will. Boodin's approach to metaphysics is grounded in a realistic worldview, which he believes is essential to understanding the nature of reality. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with little or no background in philosophy. It is a classic work in the field of metaphysics and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Truth andR eality, which was published in 1911. The two volumes furnish a survey of the field of general philosophy from the point of view of pragmatic realism. This attitude which the author has been championing for several years is an attempt to apply scientific method to philosophic problems. The term pragmatic is used in the sense which was first advocated by C. S. Peirce, and which is defined by the author in his own terms inT ruth andR eality. As applied to metaphysics the pragmatic method means that we must judge the nature of reality, in its various grades and complexities, by the consequences to the realization of human purposes, instead of by a priori assumptions. Some may prefer the older adjectives of empirical or critical ;but these terms seem definitely associated with certain historical doctrines, and a new term seems to be preferable in designating the scientific tendency of to-day. There is need in every age of retranslating the perennial problems of philosophy into terms of living human interest; and the author hopes in a measure to further this movement at the present time through these volumes. In A Realistic Universe the author has tried to make vital the fundamental problems of metaphysics in terms of our present thought-world, without the cant of the past, but with a deep sense of indebtedness to the masters of all time. While the book is intended primarily for the philosophic stu dent, the aim has been to make the style as clear and simple as the problems would permit. In the use of scientific material, an effort has been made to find sources which would be intelligible to the layman rather than to make an appearance of erudition. Some portions, such as the introductory chapter and part five on Form, may be of special interest to the general reader.
