This book delves into the age-old debate on the existence of an objective, external world, separate from our human perceptions and experiences. The author traces the evolution of philosophical thought on this matter, examining the arguments of prominent thinkers throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to contemporary philosophers. The book explores the ideas of influential philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, showcasing the development of different perspectives on the nature of reality. It delves into the challenges posed by skepticism and the complexities of sense perception, examining how these factors influence our understanding of the world around us. The author argues that the insights offered by this philosophical exploration are not just abstract musings but have real-world implications for our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.

Excerpt from The World We Live in or Philosophy and Life in the Light of Modern Thought

IT is a fair question how dry a man has a right to be when he is writing upon a subject which ought to be of interest to every thoughtful man. The world in which we find ourselves is the common property of the learned and the unlearned. The problem of its nature and of our own adjustment to it stares us all in the face, if we think at all.

Excerpt from The World We Live in or Philosophy and Life in the Light of Modern Thought

It is a fair question how dry a man has a right to be when he is writing upon a subject which ought to be of interest to every thoughtful man. The world in which we find ourselves is the common property of the learned and the unlearned. The problem of its nature and of our own adjustment to it stares us all in the face, if we think at all.

Hence, I make no apology for having written in a very plain and straightforward way. A truth simply stated is none the less a truth. An error stated in obscure and technical language is given a breastplate which may shield an unworthy life.

I hope no one will be deterred from reading my book by the rather formidable collection of notes appended to it. They are intended chiefly for my professional colleagues, and not for the general reader. The argument of the book is supposed to stand upon its own feet, and can be judged without reference to them. My program is contained in the first chapter. He to whom this makes no appeal need not read further, for my problem and its solution will not interest him.

That I am wholly in the right, or that I have said what I have meant to say as clearly and well as it should be said, I do not for a moment suppose. He who regards himself as infallible in philosophy, or who speaks with authority, stands revealed as lacking in a sense of humor. Did I suppose it would be of service, I should indicate the chapters which seem to me most in need of emendation by some one more acute; but doubtless the critic will prefer selecting these for himself.
