MR. MURRAY'S PRIMERS Fcap 8vo. 1s. PHILOSOPHY. By A. S. RAPPOPORT, PH.D. PHYSIOLOGY. By E. H. STARLING, F.R.S. BOTANY. By J. B. FARMER, F.R.S. THE USE of words. By MISS KINNEAR. Other Volumes will follow. 7-28-37 VA, 5-9-39 PREFACE THE purpose of this book is to supply the beginner in Philosophy with a kind of student's guide to the problems of the science and the solutions which have been proposed. History is subordinated to exposition, but it has proved natural to observe a chronological order within the divisions of the subject-matter, inasmuch as the succession of schools corresponds to the stages in the evolution of thought. Necessarily, much has been mentioned in a sketch of less than 128 pages which might have been developed in separate treatises; but the writer hopes that nothing has been omitted which is essential to the design of providing an Introduction to Philosophy in as brief a compass and in as accurate a form as are compatible with clearness, thoroughness, and that faithfulness to truth which is the last and best lesson of the philosophers. February, 1904. A. S. R. |
