Book Overview

Realistic Philosophy: Defended In A Philosophic Series is a book written by James McCosh and published in 1887. The book is a defense of realistic philosophy, which is a school of thought that emphasizes the existence of objective reality and the importance of empirical evidence in understanding it. In the book, McCosh presents a series of philosophical arguments in favor of realism, drawing on the works of philosophers such as John Locke, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant. He also critiques idealism, which is the view that reality is fundamentally mental or spiritual in nature.McCosh's defense of realism is rooted in his belief that it is the most accurate and reliable way of understanding the world around us. He argues that realism provides a more coherent and consistent account of our experiences than idealism or other philosophical schools.Overall, Realistic Philosophy: Defended In A Philosophic Series is a comprehensive exploration of the principles and arguments of realistic philosophy, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in this area of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
