Introduction to Philosophy: A Handbook for Students of Psychology, Logic, Ethics, Æsthetics and General Philosophy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Introduction to Philosophy: A Handbook for Students of Psychology, Logic, Ethics, Æsthetics and General PhilosophyThe text upon which this translation is based differs only in a few minor points from that of Professor Külpe's Einleitung in die Philosophre, as published in 1895. The author has modified passages in §§ 2, 6, 10, 23 and 30; has added to the list of literary references; and has made some forty verbal changes in the course of the work. The translators have added titles to the literature of several of the earlier sections, indicating the addition in every case by the use of square brackets, and have filled in a small number of cross-references which the author had left in general terms. They have been greatly tempted, in certain contexts, to write special paragraphs dealing with the English philosophers at more length than has been done by Professor Külpe. But the new matter would have considerably increased the expense of the book, besides breaking the thread of the original exposition. Moreover, the fact that the work was primarily intended as a text-book for German students of philosophy should not make it less interesting or valuable to their English-speaking contemporaries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
