Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Idealism: An Essay, Metaphysical and Critical is a philosophical work written by William Graham and first published in 1872. The book explores the concept of idealism, which is the belief that reality is fundamentally mental or spiritual in nature. Graham argues that idealism is not only a valid philosophical position, but also the most reasonable one, as it provides a more coherent and comprehensive understanding of the world than materialism or dualism.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of idealism, tracing its development from ancient Greek philosophy to its modern form. Graham examines the works of philosophers such as Plato, Berkeley, and Kant, and shows how their ideas have contributed to the development of idealism. He also addresses some of the criticisms of idealism, such as the charge that it is subjective and denies the reality of the external world.The second part of the book presents Graham's own views on idealism. He argues that reality is fundamentally mental, and that the material world is a product of the mind. He also explores the implications of this view for ethics, epistemology, and the nature of consciousness.Overall, Idealism: An Essay, Metaphysical and Critical is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the philosophical concept of idealism. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
