Book Description
Excerpt from The Syllogistic Philosophy, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Prolegomena to Science § 149. The philosophy of pure experience, as represented by its greatest expositor David Hume, ingenuously confesses its inability to think the I as person or to form a clear concept of personal identity. The philosophy of pure reason or pure thought, as represented by its greatest expositors, Aristotle, Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, has proved its inability to think the I as person, because it surrenders the individual difference in general and the personal difference in particular as unknowable, confounds the specimen with the species, and degrades the personal I to the impersonal It. With Aristotle himself, the Aristotelian Paradox culminates in the imperishable but impersonal vovs, with Kant, in the unknown x, a merely logical subject which may or may not be substance, - with Fichte, in a mere self-returning activity, a self-determining but in itself unconscious subject-object, of which personal selfconsciousness or self-conscious individuality appears as a non-essential and fleeting accident, - with Hegel, in a selfdetermining notion of the notion, in which the I and the We are absolutely indistinguishable and both vanish as a mere "relation" (Verhältniss) of two contradictory terms.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Syllogistic Philosophy, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Prolegomena to Science Not-we in its Rationalist Form. Hume represents the Antisthenian half, Kant, Fichte, and Hegel the Platonic half, of the Aristotelian Paradox around Which philosophy helplessly revolved until the rise of Darwinism in natural science. In this complete failure of empiricism and rationalism to think the I except as the It, and in their consequent failure to effect a rational transition from the I to the We, the philosophy which recognizes the necessary identity in difference of experience and reason must not decline this supreme task of all philosophy namely, the task of thinking the I as person in accordance With the law of unit-universals.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VI ORIGIN OF THE TRADITION: THE ARISTOTELIAN PARADOX 74. In this connection it only remains to show, although necessarily at considerable length, the source of that traditional account of the origin of self-consciousness in the antithesis of Ego and Non-Ego which we have been examining in the last seven sections. This could not be shown until the scientific theory of the I, as derived from the scientific theory of universals, had first been positively developed, in order to possess a scientific basis of historical criticism in the philosophy of philosophy. The historical root of the antithesis, as this has been explained and criticised above, is the Aristotelian theory of universals. Zeller, than whom there is no higher authority on the history of Greek philosophy, maintains that a fundamental and irreconcilable contradiction permeates the whole system of Aristotle, and infects it throughout with incoherence and want of precision. This contradiction, if it be one, lies in Aristotle's two attempts to determine scientifically the object of knowledge, now as the unit of conception, or intelligible universal essence of the individual (to n ty ttvai, rf Kara Tov Xoyov ovtna, ovcrLa as pure Form), and now as the unit of existenoe, or real individual substance of the universal (i-dSt n, ova-fa as union of Form and Matter).1 Whether there exists an actual contradiction between these two notions of the object of knowledge, it is not at present necessary to decide, as the question willcome up again in a later chapter. Our present concern with the Aristotelian theory of universals is simply with reference to its effect upon the concept of the individual as such, and therefore upon that of the real I as the human individual. l Arist.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Syllogistic Philosophy or Prolegomena to Science, Vol. 1 of 2 This is the philosophy whose foundation is the absolute nature of the syllogism as necessary relational equation of the involved and the, evolved in the world-process - that universal and eternal self-realization of Being through Knowing in Doing which determines the immanent and necessary relational constitution of the world itself to be that of the Absolute Ethical I. It is the grounding of this philosophy in the absolute nature of the syllogistic process. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Syllogistic Philosophy or Prolegomena to Science, Vol. 1 of 2 In bequeathing to my fellow-men the best I have to give them in the results of a lifetime of patient and single-eyed search for the highest truth, which at last have been wrought into the form of a new system of philosophy grounded on the principle of absolute logic that whatever is evolved as consequent must be involved as antecedent, I hope they will not deem it a mark of obtrusive self-feeling if I leave on record here a true and simple statement of its origin, both as a thought-system and as a biographical fact. No one can be more conscious than I am of its manifest deficiencies of content and faults of form, and no one could regret these more than I do. Yet at the opening of the twentieth century I conceive it to be the supreme need of the human spirit to understand that the mechanical philosophy of mere evolution - the evolution without involution, which is the half-truth more dangerous than a lie - is but a step towards the organic philosophy of evolution through involution, as itself but a step towards the spiritual philosophy of the identity in difference of evolution and involution as the continuity of Being in the Absolute Ethical I. This is the philosophy whose foundation is the absolute nature of the syllogism as necessary relational equation of the involved and the evolved in the world-process - that universal and eternal self-realization of Being through Knowing in Doing which determines the immanent and necessary relational constitution of the world itself to be that of the Absolute Ethical I.
