The Revolt Against Dualism An Inquiry Concerning The Existence Of Ideas

The Revolt Against Dualism: An Inquiry Concerning The Existence Of Ideas is a philosophical book written by Arthur O. Lovejoy. The book delves into the concept of dualism, which is the idea that the universe is made up of two separate and distinct substances: material and immaterial. Lovejoy argues that this dualistic view of the world has been challenged by philosophers throughout history who have sought to prove the existence of ideas as a third substance.Lovejoy examines the works of philosophers such as Plato, Descartes, and Kant, who have all contributed to the development of dualism. He then explores the ideas of those who have revolted against this view, including George Berkeley and Immanuel Kant, who believed that ideas are not separate from material substances but are instead a part of them.Throughout the book, Lovejoy provides a detailed analysis of the arguments for and against dualism, and ultimately concludes that the existence of ideas is a necessary part of our understanding of the world. The Revolt Against Dualism is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
