Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Fundamental Problems: The Method of Philosophy as a Systematic Arrangement of Knowledge

Almost all of the essays of this book first appeared as editorial articles in The Open Court, where they had the good fortune of being exposed to the criticism of thoughtful readers. The ideas presented could thus be tested, and the views of the author received an opportunity of being further elucidated, not in futile battles against men of straw, but in discussions with thinkers who had found difficulties in understanding the solutions proposed, here publicly acknowledge my indebtedness to the gentlemen who have favored me with criticisms.

The author's endeavor has been to avoid originality. While working out in his mind this book on the Fundamental Problems of philosophy, he has endeavored to introduce as little as possible of his personality and his private sympathies with, or antipathies against, other solutions. The brain of the philosopher should be a mental alembic to clarify ideas, to analyze them, to extract their essence. His brain should work with the regularity of a machine. And among machines the philosophical mind must be compared to the so-called precision machines, the work of which is not measured by horse power, but by minute exactitude.

The article "Form and Formal Thought" discusses a subject which is of fundamental importance. A correct conception of form and the laws of form will clear away many mysteries ; it will afford a satisfactory explanation of causality and shed a new light on all the other problems of philosophy.
