Knowledge, Life And Reality: An Essay In Systematic Philosophy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162940427)

""Knowledge, Life and Reality: An Essay in Systematic Philosophy"" is a comprehensive philosophical treatise written by George Trumbull Ladd. The book explores the nature of knowledge, life, and reality, and how they interrelate with each other. Ladd's work is an attempt to provide a systematic account of the world, and his philosophical inquiry is grounded in the belief that knowledge is the key to understanding the world around us.The book is divided into three major sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Ladd's philosophical inquiry. The first section deals with the nature of knowledge, and Ladd argues that knowledge is not simply a matter of acquiring information, but rather a complex process that involves the interaction between the knower and the known. He explores the various theories of knowledge, including empiricism and rationalism, and provides his own account of how knowledge is acquired.The second section of the book focuses on the nature of life, and Ladd argues that life is not simply a biological phenomenon but a complex process that involves the interaction between the organism and its environment. He explores the various theories of life, including vitalism and mechanism, and provides his own account of how life is sustained and developed.The final section of the book deals with the nature of reality, and Ladd argues that reality is not simply a matter of objective facts but a complex process that involves the interaction between the knower and the known. He explores the various theories of reality, including idealism and realism, and provides his own account of how reality is constructed and understood.Throughout the book, Ladd provides a detailed and rigorous analysis of the philosophical concepts he explores, and his work is characterized by a deep commitment to systematic thinking and rigorous argumentation. ""Knowledge, Life and Reality: An Essay in Systematic Philosophy"" is a seminal work in the field of philosophy, and it continues to be widely read and studied by philosophers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
