Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the work of a Liverpool University lecturer, examines the development of French philosophy from 1851 to 1921. The author argues that the philosophical landscape of the era was characterized by a reaction against both Eclecticism and Positivism, leading to the emergence of three primary currents of thought. The first, a Positivist and naturalist current that included such thinkers as Taine and Renan, sought to apply scientific methods to the study of human affairs. The second, represented by Cournot and Renouvier, centered around the development of a neo-critical philosophy that emphasized the limits of human knowledge. The third, the New Spiritual Philosophy, drew inspiration from Maine de Biran and culminated in the works of Bergson, Ravaisson, and Boutroux, who sought to reconcile science with the enduring questions of the human spirit. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of philosophy, particularly those with an interest in the development of French thought during the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
