It undertakes:—
I. INTRODUCTORY
And yet the man can hold his own in the world
of real things. He can distinguish between this
thing and that, this place and that, this time and
that. He can think out a plan and carry it into
execution; he can guess at the contents of other
minds and allow this knowledge to find its
place in his plan.

[1] Preface.
NOTES
CHAPTER I, sections 1-5. If the student will
take a good history of philosophy, and look
over the accounts of the different systems
referred to, he will see the justice of the
position taken in the text, namely, that
philosophy was formerly synonymous with
universal knowledge. It is not necessary, of
course, to read the whole history of philosophy
to attain this end. One may take such a text-
book as Ueberweg's "History of Philosophy,"
and run over the summaries contained in the
large print. To see how the conception of what
constitutes universal knowledge changed in
successive ages, compare Thales, the Sophists,
Aristotle, the Schoolmen, Bacon, and
Descartes. For the ancient philosophy one may
consult Windelband's "History of the Ancient
Philosophy," a clear and entertaining little work
(English translation, N.Y., 1899).
