History of Philosophy, by Alfred Weber (1835 - 1914) translated by Frank Thilly (1865 - 1934)

Volunteers outside the USA: Ralph Barton Perry died in 1957. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Philosophy is the search for a comprehensive view of nature, an attempt at a universal explanation of things. It is both the summary of the sciences and their completion; both general science and a specialty distinguished from science proper; and, like its elder sisters, religion and poetry, forms a separate branch among the manifestations of the human mind.

The different sciences have special groups of facts for their subject-matter, and seek to discover the causes of these phenomena, or to formulate the laws according to which they are produced. In philosophy, on the other hand, the human mind endeavors to rise beyond such groups and their particular laws, and to explain the wrorld as a whole, or the universal fact or phenomenon , by the cause of the causes, or the first cause. In other words, it attempts to answer the question, Why does this world exist, and how does it happen to be what it is? (Summary by Introduction)

A monumental volume!

Would you consider splitting Section 67?
I would be keen to read the first section on Royce and Bowne (Particular interests of my major professor) but not so keen on the German idealists. Combined this is a long section anyway. There are several others that I would be interested in reading for. I'll just have to see how this fits in with my other commitments.

PS: Considering that this will probably be an extended project, I would be interested in joining as DPL, if you will PL my sections.

Done! Split. I can certainly get someone to PL your sections if you like and any that are PD for me I can do.

Thanks for coming onboard!

May I claim Section 1, "Introduction"?

Alfred Weber was a German who wrote in German, French, and Latin. I'll pronounce his name in German.

Unless you direct me otherwise, I will omit the long footnote.

My best,

Pam
