Excerpt from Life as Reality: A Philosophical Essay Some years ago I was asked by a friend, while We were climbing old Kearsarge, to defend a system of idealism which gave full value to the will-strivings of our life-interests without degen erating into crude individualism. That reality could be defined in some such terms had been my thesis, - and it is the thesis of the present essay. This little incident occurred several years ago, but in the intervening time, while struggling to make myself clear, I have become the more convinced than ever that reality, for us human beings, is revealed directly through the impulses, the strivings, the purposes of our life and only indirectly through the vast world of objects and facts that pass in ceaseless stream before the eye of consciousness. It is in the effort and not at the goal that we must search for the real. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Truth, Language, and History is the much-anticipated final volume of Donald Davidson's philosophical writings. In the four groups of essays that comprise it, Davidson continues to explore the themes that occupied him for more than fifty years: the relations between language and the world; speaker intention and linguistic meaning; language and mind; mind and body; mind and world; mind and other minds. He asks: what is the role of the concept of truth in these explorations? And, can a scientific world view make room for human thought without reducing it to something material and mechanistic? Davidson's underlying picture, which can be seen in many of these essays, is that we are acquainted directly with the world, not indirectly via some intermediary such as sense-data, representations, or language itself; that thought emerges in the first place through interpersonal communication in a shared material world, and continues to develop as we engage each other in dialogue; and that language depends on communication, not vice versa. This is the triangulating situation - two creatures communicating about a common world - about which Davidson has written elsewhere. As for the mind-body relation: our ontology need posit nothing more that material objects and events; but as explainers we require two mutually irreducible vocabularies: mind and body. In the last six essays Davidson finds interconnections between his own views and those of some of the major philosophers of the past. Including a new introduction by his widow, Marcia Cavell, this volume completes Donald Davidson's colossal intellectual legacy.

The essays in this collection are not confined to any one period or any one subject. Nearly every one, in the author's words, is "an attempt to understand some short passage from the work of some philosopher, teasing the passage with analogies of sense. If one were to describe the method, as Descartes described his method, the method of doubt, perhaps it might best be described as the method of failure."

Excerpt from Knowledge, Life and Reality: An Essay in Systematic Philosophy Tempt at systematic results, which has been rather abnormally slow, has been preceded by prolonged study of the separate problems, the solutions of which need to be combined in the total result. However all this may be, my request is simply this: Let us both, reader and author, abjure all deference to the idols of the theater, ' as well as to the idols Of the cave, ' and try to frame and judge our philosophical Opinions according to the harmony Of the truths that are expressed in them. One other request seems to me equally reasonable. It is that a fair amount of candid reflection shall determine the mean ing, and the truth of the meaning, which has been put into the words. There is no inherent reason why philosophical opinions should not be made intelligible to any intelligent and thought ful, not to say educated, reader. But this desirable end can not be reached without a genuine effort at co-operation. Pro found philosophy may be taught in poetry, drama, and even in the novel. But if it is to be got out of these captivating forms of its presentation, the author cannot do all the work. In this book I have, for the most part, carefully avoided all technical language; and I have taken pains to make my meaning clear. But the very subject - since philosophy is the product of re flective thinking - requires the studious and reflecting mind on the part of those who make use of the book. If in any places it shall seem more difficult to understand - not to say, essen tially obscure, - than the nature of the discussion itself makes reasonable, I shall stand ready to confess my failure and to bear the blame. But I cannot promise or hope to be under stood by those who care only to be, for the moment, entertained; or who have neither the inclination nor the leisure to give to my efforts any measure Of careful and thoughtful attention. To those who are already at all familiar with the other writ ings on philosophy by the same author, as well as to those who may possibly be attracted to some Of those writings by reading this book, a further word of introduction may prove helpful. During the last twenty-five years, I have treated of the leading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For more than three decades, Margaret Wilson's essays on early modern philosophy have influenced scholarly debate. Many are considered classics in the field and remain as important today as they were when they were first published. Until now, however, they have never been available in book form and some have been particularly difficult to find. This collection not only provides access to nearly all of Wilson's most significant work, but also demonstrates the continuity of her thought over time. These essays show that Wilson possesses a keen intelligence, coupled with a fearlessness in tackling the work of early modern philosophers as well as the writing of modern commentators. Many of the pieces collected here respond to philosophical issues of continuing importance. The thirty-one essays gathered here deal with some of the best known early philosophers, including Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Spinoza, and Berkeley. As this collection shows, Wilson is a demanding critic. She repeatedly asks whether the philosophers' arguments were adequate to the problems they were trying to solve and whether these arguments remain compelling today. She is not afraid to engage in complex argument but, at the same time, her own writing remains clear and fresh. Ideas and Mechanism is an essential collection of work by one of the leading scholars of our era. Originally published in 1999. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Excerpt from Philosophical Essays The first three essays are concerned with ethical subjects, while the last four are concerned with the nature of truth. I include among the ethical essays the one on The Study of Mathematics, because this essay is concerned rather with the value of mathematics than with an attempt to state what mathematics is. Of the four essays which are concerned with Truth, two deal with Pragmatism, whose chief novelty is a new definition of i truth. One deals with the conception of truth advocated by those philosophers who are more or less affiliated to Hegel, while the last endeavours to set forth briefly, without technicalities, the view of truth which commends itself to the author. All the essays, with the possible exception of the one on The Monistic Theory of Truth, are designed to appeal to those who take an interest in philosophical questions without having had a professional training in philosophy.
