Knowledge, Duty, and Faith: Suggestions for the Study of Principles Taught By Typical Thinkers, Ancient and Modern (Classic Reprint)

THE following pages were suggested by a brilliant University Extension Lecture on Bacon depreciating Aristotelian Logic, pointing to the works of Spencer and Lotze as the rival philosophies of the present day; and by questions consequently addressed to the writer by young friends. This is not a history of philosophy, still less an original treatise. The intention is to indicate some of the questions now attracting interest, and especially to show the assumptions taken for granted by typical writers, who in successive periods have endeavoured to find answers to the questions: What can we know? and What ought in to do? It will be my endeavour in every case in which I have ventured to express an opinion on an important point to confess my indebtedness to writers of acknowledged authority.
