Beschreibung:
First published in 1931, this book provides a brief overview of the essentials of philosophy. It aims to combat the notion of the inaccessibility of philosophy by providing an introduction to its history and what the author believes to a 'minimum dose...of incontrovertible philosophical truth'. The book merely assumes an ordinary level of adult education and offers an outline of the key areas of philosophy - consciousness, reality, experience, Life, God, love, aesthetics, conduct, logic - and as such will be of interest as a very useful starting point for anyone wishing to undertake further studies.
