Excerpt from Personality: The Beginning and End of Metaphysics and a Necessary Assumption in All Positive PhilosophyTo those who think thus, metaphysics is of course a remnant of barbarism, only a little re moved from the fetishism that ¿ourished in the infancy Of the race, or, at the best, it is but a puerile amusement which, when one becomes a man - that is to say a Positivist - ought to be put away. Now it is the purpose of the present essay to offer some suggestions tending to show that this estimate of metaphysics is incorrect, - that the Posi tivists themselves are but metaphysicians in dis guise, - that pure Phenomenalism, without some admixture of metaphysical elements, is an unthink able absurdity, - and that, from the works of the most violently anti-metaphysical writers, it is easy to extract the elements of a metaphysical system.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
