Dualism And Monism And Other Essays

Dualism and Monism and Other Essays is a collection of philosophical essays written by John Veitch. The book explores the fundamental concepts of dualism and monism, which are two opposing views on the nature of reality. Dualism suggests that there are two distinct and separate substances that make up the world: the material and the immaterial. Monism, on the other hand, posits that there is only one substance that makes up the universe, and everything else is simply a manifestation of this substance. Veitch's essays delve into the history and development of these philosophical concepts, examining the works of prominent thinkers such as Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz. He also explores the implications of these ideas for other areas of philosophy, such as ethics and metaphysics. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to these complex philosophical ideas for students and general readers alike. Veitch's incisive analysis and thoughtful reflections provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of dualism and monism in contemporary philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
