Excerpt from Essays in Philosophical Criticism The various contributors to a volume of Essays such as the present may naturally be supposed to be animated by some common purpose or tendency; and I have been requested to say a few words to indicate how far such a common purpose or tendency exists. In the first place, then, I have to state that the Essays have been written quite independently by their several authors, and that any agreement which exists among them is due, not to an intention to advocate any special philosophical theory, but rather to a certain community of opinion in relation to the general principle and method of philosophy. In other words, it may be described as an agreement as to the direction in which inquiry may most fruitfully be prosecuted, rather than a concurrence in any definite results that have as yet been attained by it. Such an agreement is consistent with great and even vital differences. For any idea that has a principle of growth in it, any idea that takes hold of man's spiritual life on many sides, is certain, as it developes, to produce wide divergencies, and even to call forth much antagonism and conflict between its supporters. A doctrine that passes unchanged from hand to hand, is by that very fact shown to have exhausted its inherent force; and those ideas have been the most fruitful both in religion and philosophy, which, accepted as a common starting-point, have given rise to the most far-reaching controversy.

Excerpt from Noctes Orientales: Being a Selection of Essays Read Before the Straits Philosophical Society Between the Years 1893 and 1910 The members of the Society were limited to fifteen in number, all of whom took it in turns to read an essay upon any subject selected by themselves in Literature, Science, or Art. This was followed by a criticism by another member, and a discussion on the essay and criticism succeeded, at the end of which the President summed up the discussion, and the essayist replied to any questions which had been the outcome of the criticism and discussion. It was always the custom for these meetings to be held on the second Friday or Saturday of each month, the members meeting and dining together before the paper was read. The essays and criticisms were afterwards typewritten, and copies of the volumes of essays were presented to the public libraries of Singapore and Penang, a copy also being kept as the property of the Society. The whole series consists of 17 volumes, containing 355 essays and criticisms. While the actual subjects selected by the writers was left to their choice, in the President's opening address he suggested certain limits in style and subject, which were accepted by the Society and adhered to. His suggestions Were as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Essays, Reviews and Addresses, Vol. 3: Theological; Philosophical The discussions in this volume may be regarded as the tentatives which gradually prepared the way for the more systematic expositions of the Types of Ethical Theory and the Study of Religion, and, in some measure, of The Seat of Authority in Religion. Reproached as I am with destructive criticism, I may perhaps be par doned for pointing out that my difference from the authors whom I here review consists, in every case, in my rejection of their negative positions, and my claim for an extension of the sphere of knowledge beyond the limits which they assign. So that' if, in relation to them, I were Called a Gnostic, it would be a happier Opprobrium than the nickname of Agnostic now so freely given.

Excerpt from Reason and Romanticism: Essays in Literary Criticism In one sense our condition (but not only our condition, but the condition of the whole western world) is hopeless enough. We have carried criticism to the last degree of scepticism, even to the point where it becomes sceptical of itself, and have yet no new synthesis. We have destroyed our religion, and have left the emotions without a control. Emotions - which are individual, dis parate, and therefore contradictory - must be disciplined in a social community. The function. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Essays in Literary Criticism of George Santayana Tragic Philosophy (1936) he is more tolerant of a poet who spoke to an age that needed no mastering living religion. It is not clear whether the later Santayana finds Shakespeare's secular ism adequate for the needs of great poetry; but as against the crit icism of T. S. Eliot, he defends Shakespeare for having stuck fast in the facts of life and he pits him against Dante in a way that one could hardly have anticipated from the early essay.

Excerpt from English Essays: An Anthology of Essays From Bacon to Lucas Definitions of the essay have nearly always been nu satisfactory, mainly because the term is eu all-inclusive one. It has been applied to compositions as varied as Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding, a rather long and abstruse philosophical treatise; Macaulay's historical sketches of Milton, Clive, Warren Hastings, and others; Pope's versified discussions of philosophy and literary criticism; and Pater's carefully reasoned analyses of problems in aesthetics. But the essay par excellence is a much more specific thing: it is variously called the fa miliar, the intimate, the personal, the medita tive, essay, and the adjective indicates its scope. Like the lyric in the realm of verse, it is a personal expression of the author's moods, emotions, or whims. Though it may be narrative or descriptive in part, these elements are subordinated to the author's reflections upon the background or the story he presents. It touches upon all topics of interest to human beings, from female ornament to the mystery of death. Yet, whatever the topic, the author is never in the didactic mood; he is more like a richly informed, meditative, kindly man of the world settling down for a half hour or so of suggestive talk with a friend. The familiar essay, in fine, is a written mon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
