Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Philosophy
The specific aim has not merely determined the gen eral character of the volume, but also its particular parts, so as to limit the contents strictly to the scope of an introductory work. N o labor has been spared to present, in the clearest manner, such thoughts as are regarded most essential for the beginner. The reader who knows the difference between floundering in a subject, and thinking through'it, is in no danger of mistaking obscurity as synonymous with philosophical profundity. But even an elementary work in philos Ophy is obliged to discuss subjects which require pro found study, and furnish food for the deepest thought. Particularly is this the case with those great problems which have enlisted the best energies of thinkers ever since the birth of philosophy. The student who has the acumen and thoroughness which adapt him to phil osophical investigations will appreciate the importance of grappling early with themes which most severely test his intellectual powers. While intent on securing all possible help to put him into the right attitude to philosophy, he will value all aids only as means for becoming independent of foreign help. Philosophy is not taught, but thought; and even an introductory work presupposes that the student will do more for himself than others can do for him. Particularly in philosophy is it true, that what one gets depends on what he brings.
