Introduction to Philosophy

There was a time, when opinion widely prevailed that philosophy has outlived its usefulness, that the positive sciences had taken its place. But Philosophy can not be neglected that way.Nowhere will the student find a clearer and simpler presentation of the fundamental problems of philosophy than in Paulson’s Introduction, nowhere will he receive, in small a compass, a more comprehensive knowledge of the views held by the great thinkers of mankind. And though he may not always accept the author’s own solutions, he cannot fail to be stimulated and broadened by the suggestive reasonings contained in this volume.The present volume will guide them in their inquiries into the great ultimate problems which the world puts to the thinking mind of man, and lead them to study the great thought which the spiritual leaders of humanity have proposed as answers to these questions.
