Philosophy Historical and Critical (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Philosophy Historical and Critical
The Author has not supplied a preface to this work. The method and plan of his treatment is so extremely simple, and his general exposition of the subject so clear, and within the available limits so exhaustive, that he may well have left the book to speak for itself. He is, of course, a materialist of the most advanced modern school, and as such expresses his opinions in the most outspoken and uncompromising manner. The subject itself - a summary of the various philosophic conceptions of man and the universe - being momover of a most comprehensive character, there are no abstract and but few concrete matters that he has not had occasion to deal with, more or less fully, from the atheistic point of view. But this very circumstance would seem to call for a few words of warning to the unwary the more so that the work in its English dress, and as one of a popular series, must necessarily fall into the hands of many readers who are apt to be carried away by a certain speciousness of reasoning, and who are not always possessed of a ready answer to a line of argument undoubtedly urged with great vigour and cogency.
