About This Book

El texto examina el estado de la filosofía contemporánea, contraponiendo la reacción contra la filosofía materialista anterior y el panteísmo con una defensa de la realidad de las ideas, el espíritu y la libertad humana. Critica la reducción del pensamiento a mera sensación y la negación de lo espiritual, reconoce sin embargo los esfuerzos por recuperar nociones como infinito, absoluto y causa, y advierte sobre los excesos y la autocomplacencia de algunos pensadores modernos. En la sección final desarrolla la noción de causalidad final y sostiene que la acción racional requiere conocimiento y un principio moral distinto de la causalidad eficiente.
