About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Logic: In Three Books, of Thought, of Investigation, and of Knowledge

Since the present Translation of Professor Lotze's 'System der Philosophie' was begun, both the author himself, who cordially welcomed the undertaking, and Professor Green, who first definitely proposed it, have been removed by death. These two distinguished men, however different in method and style of thought, had some fundamental tendencies in common; and it may be of interest to Professor Lotze's admirers in this country to know that Professor Green not only executed an important part of the Translation, but intended to take upon himself the task of revising and editing the whole, which was not entrusted to the present Editor till after Professor Green's death.

The Translation of the Logic has been throughout adapted to the second edition. But the Author's intended revision of the Metaphysic was not carried out, and the projected Part III of the 'System der Philosophie' was never written. What the Author made known of his intentions in these respects is mentioned in the Prefaces to the Metaphysic.
