The Roots Of Reality

Being Suggestions For A Philosophical Reconstruction

Beschreibung

The Roots of Reality: Being Suggestions for a Philosophical Reconstruction is a book written by the renowned British philosopher and socialist, Ernest Belfort Bax. In this book, Bax presents his ideas on the nature of reality and the role of philosophy in reconstructing it. He argues that reality is not fixed and unchanging but is constantly evolving and that human consciousness plays a crucial role in shaping it. Bax also explores the relationship between philosophy and science, arguing that philosophy should not be subservient to science but should instead be an equal partner in the pursuit of knowledge. He examines the history of philosophy and its various schools of thought, including idealism, materialism, and pragmatism, and offers his own synthesis of these ideas. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academics and general readers interested in philosophy and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Ernest Belfort Bax was an English barrister, journalist, philosopher, men's rights activist, socialist, and historian. Ernest Belfort Bax was born on July 23, 1854, in Leamington Spa, the son of Daniel Bax, a wealthy Mackintosh raincoat manufacturer and traditionalist nonconformist. Bax's elder brother, barrister Alfred Ridley Bax, was the father of composer and writer Arnold Bax, as well as playwright and essayist Clifford Bax. In his Reminiscences and Reflexions of a Mid and Late Victorian (1918), he laments the restricted Evangelicanism and Sabbatarianism in which he was raised as having left "an enduringly unpleasant reminiscence behind it". Between the years 1864 and 1875, he was privately taught by tutors and influenced by George Lewes, William Lecky, Alexander Bain, Herbert Spencer, and John Stuart Mill, all of whom contributed to his commitment to rationality. The Franco-German War and its aftermath, the Commune, sparked his interest in public affairs when he was sixteen years old. During this time, his political ideals were a mix of common radicalism and dreams for economic equality.
