Synopsis
Excerpt from Philosophical Studies
In 1902 Professor Ritchie reprinted, under the title Studies in Political and Social Ethics a number of essays in which he discussed "practical questions of political and social ethics on the basis of what may be called evolutionary utilitarianism, without raising, or at least without discussing, metaphysical questions." The present volume, on the other hand, consists of papers which are essentially philosophical, although they include incidentally many practical applications. Three of these papers are reprinted from the Philosophical Review and Mind, while the remaining three have been selected and arranged by me from Professor Ritchie's manuscripts. The Cogitatio Metaphysica is a general statement of his views on all the main questions of philosophy and religion. He had several times bun this and made some progress with it, only to leave it aside and begin again, and at his death it remained incomplete, sections I to 21 inclusive, part of section 22, sections 23, 25 and 26, part of section 27, sections 28 and 29 and part of section 30 form the completed portion of the last draft. Following indications in Professor Ritchie's notes, I have completed section 22 from a review of Ward's Naturalism and Agnosticism, and I have also expanded some of the other sections from various notes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the reader with an expanded view of philosophy by exploring metaphysics, logic, and ethics through the lens of David G. Ritchie, a notable Scottish philosopher. The text's main focus is to understand Ritchie's position on various subjects and how his evolutionary utilitarianism informs his practical doctrine. Ritchie's work is examined both in the context of his time and in relation to the broader history of philosophy. The author also includes Ritchie's thoughts on religion, social ethics, the relation of logic to psychology, metaphysics to epistemology, and the One and the Many. In doing so, this book sheds light on Ritchie's unique contributions to philosophy and provides a comprehensive overview of his key ideas.
