Excerpt from Hamilton's Theory of Knowledge England conscious Of the philosophical relation Of the Scotch to the continental schools. When others were dumb with amaze ment or trepidation in view Of the transcendental schemes Of Teutonic speculation, this intrepid and acute thinker pre sented himself within the lists, and threw down the gauntlet against all comers - to vindicate, on philosophical grounds, the philosophy of common sense in face Of the proud pretensions Of the philosophy Of the absolute. His name and fame, in the annals Of philosophy, are identified With this work. Besides this, as a teacher Of philosophy in the University Of Edi burgh, he revived the study Of logic and metaphysics at a time when logic was neglected and metaphysics every where spoken against; and he created an' enthusiastic school, which has able advocates in England and America, as well as In Scotland. His system has now become a part Of the history Of philosophy and it deserves to be studied, not only because he was one Of the most vigorous Of thinkers, but because his speculations bear upon the relation between the Scotch and the German schools, and enter. Into the very heart Of the contro versy between philosophy and faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
