4.9/5 (18591 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Inquiring MindSince what I have to say is addressed to philosophers and not to the general public, I have not felt constrained to load my pages with footnotes. I have tried to indicate sources for my quotations when they were not of the sort which is commonplace, but one can, I think, assume that certain ideas are pretty well known to the profession, and in such cases I have not hesitated to state them without citation. I am happy, however, to acknowledge my debts, even though most of them will be obvious. Thus the inﬂuence of A. O. Lovejoy will appear on almost every page, though there is much that he will not accept as true. The inﬂuence of Royce is perhaps not so apparent, though his course in metaphysics which I took in 1915-1914 made a very deep impression upon me. In revising my manuscript I was more aware of Dewey's inﬂuence than I was when composing the lectures, though, as in Lovejoy's case, I am afraid he would not be too happy at the use which I have made of his suggestions. When one has been reading and lecturing upon the history of philosophy for thirty-five years, one absorbs from the past a great many ideas without remembering where they came from. I have no doubt whatsoever that an his torian could go over these lectures page by page and find anticipa tions Of every assertion which has been made on them. But though I have at least the normal amount of vanity, I hope that I shall have profited enough from my studies to realize the futility of trying to be utterly original.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
