False Philosophy Considered (1857)

By George Isaac Huntingford

Book Overview

False Philosophy Considered is a philosophical treatise written by George Isaac Huntingford and first published in 1857. The book is a critique of what Huntingford perceives as the false and misleading ideas that have been promulgated by various philosophers throughout history. Huntingford argues that many of these ideas are based on flawed reasoning or incomplete understanding of the world, and that they have led to confusion and error in philosophical thought.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of false philosophy. Huntingford begins by discussing the nature of truth and how it can be discerned from falsehood. He then explores various philosophical concepts such as causation, free will, and the nature of the soul, arguing that many of the prevailing ideas in these areas are based on faulty reasoning.Throughout the book, Huntingford draws on examples from history and literature to illustrate his points. He also engages with the ideas of other philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes, among others. Ultimately, Huntingford argues that a rigorous and systematic approach to philosophy is necessary in order to avoid the pitfalls of false philosophy.False Philosophy Considered is a thought-provoking and challenging work that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the nature of truth and knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
