Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Philosophy: An Inquiry After a Rational System of Scientific Principles in Their Relation to Ultimate Reality
But there are many besides the students in our colleges and seminaries who thoughtfully raise and earnestly pursue the philosophical inquiries. To them, too, I would gladly speak a word of sympathy and cheer, and (if possible) hold out a helping hand. Of no other pursuit is it so true as of philosophy, that it has no royal road. The profoundest re?ections of the mightiest intellects and the daily musings and self-question ings of the plainest men and women have all the fundamental things in common here. Freedom and caution, earnestness and modesty, are alike becoming in all. No costly laboratory, no expensive apparatus, no tiresome journeys of exploration, are indispensable in the pursuit of philosophy.
