Publisher's Synopsis
Basal Concepts in Philosophy: An Inquiry into Being, Non-Being, and Becoming is a philosophical work written by Alexander Thomas Ormond and originally published in 1894. The book explores fundamental concepts in philosophy, such as the nature of existence, non-existence, and the process of becoming. Ormond examines the various theories and ideas surrounding these concepts, drawing from the works of philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel. The book is divided into three main sections, each focusing on one of the three concepts. In the section on being, Ormond explores the nature of existence and the different ways in which philosophers have attempted to define it. In the section on non-being, he examines the concept of nothingness and the role it plays in philosophical thought. Finally, in the section on becoming, Ormond delves into the process of change and how it relates to the concepts of being and non-being. Throughout the book, Ormond provides a clear and concise analysis of these complex philosophical ideas, making it an accessible introduction to the subject for both students and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
