Excerpt from Exploratio Philosophica, Vol. 1: Rough Notes on Modern Intellectual Science
They represent a continued general thinking on the subjects to which they relate, though they are rather hastily put together as regards their particular form. But there is nothing hasty or extemporaneous in such thought as they may contain.
A. Not inconsiderable portion of them was written two years since, on the following occasion.
After the publication of Mr Mill's small book on Utilitarianism, I had the intention of writing some thing in answer to him on that subject, and had actu ally begun the printing of the result of this intention. I was led, in connexion with this, to put together the intellectual views on which the moral View rested, or which had something of the character of prolegomena' to it, and had meant if they should come within reason able limits, to publish them in an Appendix.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex landscape of philosophy, specifically the nature of knowledge and the human mind. The author engages with a range of prominent philosophical thinkers and their works, contrasting their views with his own. The book's overarching theme is the need for a balanced approach to understanding both the physical world and the inner world of human consciousness. The author critiques the prevailing schools of thought in his time, challenging the tendency to reduce philosophy to mere abstractions or to rely solely on empirical observation of the physical world. He argues for a philosophy that recognizes the unique power of human thought and the crucial role of "ideals" in shaping human action. The author also emphasizes the importance of engaging with the history of philosophy, not as a means to determine what we should do, but as a tool for deepening our understanding of the human experience. Through insightful analysis and thoughtful debate, this book presents a compelling case for a nuanced and robust philosophy, one that embraces both the complexities of human thought and the richness of the natural world.
