Publisher's Synopsis
""A Defence of Idealism: Some Questions and Conclusions"" is a philosophical book written by May Sinclair, first published in 1917. The book presents a defense of Idealism, a philosophical concept that asserts that reality is ultimately mental or spiritual in nature. Sinclair argues that Idealism is not only a valid philosophical position but also the most rational and coherent one. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the nature of reality and the limitations of human knowledge. Sinclair argues that reality is not an objective entity that can be known through sense experience but rather a mental construct that is shaped by human consciousness. She also discusses the limitations of human knowledge, arguing that our understanding of reality is always limited by our subjective perspectives.The second part of the book focuses on the practical implications of Idealism. Sinclair argues that Idealism has important ethical and social implications, as it emphasizes the importance of individual consciousness and the interconnectedness of all things. She also discusses the role of art and literature in expressing the ideals of Idealism.Overall, ""A Defence of Idealism: Some Questions and Conclusions"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges traditional views of reality and knowledge. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, metaphysics, 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.
