Description
Summary:"In following out the system, and in turning from books to the investigation of the subjects themselves, I have found myself differing more frequently and more widely from those who are regarded as authorities than I expected. Such difference will be found not only in regard to the nature and place of the Intuitions, but in regard to Consciousness, to Perception, to various doctrines of Logic, to the central position of Choice, and to the nature and necessity that precede and follow that as they are related to Choice and to each other. The work will, therefore, be found to differ from others, both in its Method and its System. If these are correct, errors of detail will be of minor consequence. Whatever may be its fate, I shall be content if this work shall awaken in the community a wider interest in the study of man, -- of man in his unity so marvelously complex, as he is related to the universe around him, to his fellow-men, and to God"--Preface.
