Pragmatism And Idealism (1913)

Beschreibung

Pragmatism And Idealism is a philosophical book written by William Caldwell in 1913. The book is a study of two major philosophical schools of thought, pragmatism and idealism, and explores the differences between them. Caldwell defines pragmatism as a philosophy that emphasizes the practical consequences of beliefs and actions, rather than their theoretical or metaphysical underpinnings. He argues that pragmatism is a distinctly American philosophy, and that it has had a significant impact on American culture and society. On the other hand, idealism is a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of ideas and concepts, and holds that reality is ultimately a product of the mind. Caldwell explores the various forms of idealism, including subjective idealism, objective idealism, and absolute idealism, and compares them to pragmatism. Throughout the book, Caldwell provides a detailed analysis of the key ideas and principles of both pragmatism and idealism, and examines their strengths and weaknesses. He also explores the ways in which these two philosophies have influenced other fields, such as science, politics, and ethics. Overall, Pragmatism And Idealism is a comprehensive and insightful study of two major philosophical schools of thought, and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the ideas and principles that have shaped modern Western philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
