Lectures on the true, the beautiful and the good

A sequence of lectures presents a spiritualist philosophy that centers psychology as the foundation for aesthetics, ethics, and political right, and that frames its arguments within the history of philosophical thought. The author defends the existence and necessity of universal principles against skeptic and empiricist challenges, develops a method distinguishing spontaneity and reflection, and moves from psychological analysis into logic, æsthetics, moral duty, natural right, and theodicy. Alongside critical readings of recent doctrines, the work advocates the compatibility of religious sentiment, genuine art, and moral responsibility while rejecting materialism and extreme democratic or nihilistic tendencies.
