Philosophy as Scientia Scientiarum

Robert Flint

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Very little requires to be referred to here. The Table of Contents should render unnecessary any Index of Names. The author's connection with the subject of his book has been a lengthened one. When a mere youth in Glasgow University he joined a number of young men, among whom were representative Cana dians, Englishmen, Welshmen, and others, in forming a Literary and Philosophical Society. As a member and vice-president his contributions to it were two essays, one on Cartesianism and the other on The Relations of the Sciences. The former cost him a study of two hundred old books in Latin and French, but it soon got lost and never returned to him. The latter he still possesses, and deems on the whole fairly accurate so far as it goes. His dealing with such a subject at all he attributes to the inspiration of the greatest of his teachers, the Professor William Thom son of the time, the Lord Kelvin of to-day and of all time.
