About This Book

This work surveys what is meant by philosophy in past and present, distinguishes reflective thought from common opinion and scientific knowledge, and outlines central problems and approaches. It treats the external world and the status of sensations, appearances and realities, space and time, the nature of mind, mind–body relations, knowledge of other minds, and issues of freedom and purpose. It sketches major doctrines such as realism, idealism, monism, and dualism, indicates relations between philosophy and the special sciences, and concludes with practical guidance on method and the value of philosophical study.
