Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Survey of Speculative Philosophy Kant to Hegel: Designed as an Introduction to the Opinions of the Recent Schools
Next to impartiality, clearness was the first rule to be observed in my work; and then, wherever this was no longer attainable, owing to the nature of the subject and the peculiar terminology of the schools, cautious limita tion became the second rule that had to be kept in view. Only it seemed to me indispensable to enter deeply into the principles of the different systems, their further de velopment being for the most part summed up in general characteristics; for it did not lie in my original plan to give a survey, uniform as regards its extent in all parts, and diverging into practical questions, any more than a perfect historical consideration of all the connecting and complementary links that lie between the main systems, excellent though the former may be of their kind.
