The Revolt Against Dualism: An Inquiry Concerning The Existence Of Ideas (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163440490)

""The Revolt Against Dualism: An Inquiry Concerning The Existence Of Ideas"" is a philosophical book written by Arthur O. Lovejoy. In this book, Lovejoy examines the concept of dualism, which is the idea that there are two separate and distinct realms of reality: the physical world and the world of ideas or concepts. Lovejoy argues that this dualistic view has been challenged throughout history by various philosophers and thinkers who have sought to unify these two realms of reality.Lovejoy begins by tracing the history of dualism, from its origins in ancient Greek philosophy to its development in modern philosophy. He then examines the various challenges to dualism, including the theories of idealism, materialism, and pragmatism. Lovejoy argues that these challenges have led to a ""revolt against dualism"" and a new understanding of the relationship between the physical world and the world of ideas.Throughout the book, Lovejoy uses a variety of examples and case studies to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with the work of other philosophers, including Descartes, Kant, and Hegel. Ultimately, Lovejoy argues that the existence of ideas is not separate from the physical world, but rather is an integral part of it. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the central debates in philosophy, and will be of interest to anyone interested in the nature of reality and the relationship between mind and matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
