Publisher's Synopsis
A General View Of The Materialistic Philosophy (1880) is a philosophical treatise written by James Hibbert. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the materialistic philosophy, which holds that the physical world is the only reality and that all phenomena, including consciousness and mental states, can be explained in terms of physical processes. Hibbert examines the historical development of materialism, from ancient Greek philosophers to modern-day thinkers such as Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin. He also explores the various arguments for and against materialism, including the problem of consciousness, the nature of causation, and the relationship between mind and body.

Hibbert provides a clear and concise analysis of the key concepts and ideas associated with the philosophy, making it accessible to both students and scholars of philosophy. Overall, A General View Of The Materialistic Philosophy is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most influential philosophical schools of thought in history.
