VAUGHT, CARL G. (EDITOR); ANDERSON, JOHN M.; CATON, HIRAM; FLAY, JOSEPH C.; ROSEN, STANLEY H.; HAUSMAN, CARL R.; TSUGAWA, ALBERT; JOHNSTONE, HENRY W.; GOTSHALK, RICHARD; BERKA, KAREL; PRICE, ROBERT; KOCKELMANS, JOSEPH J.; VAUGHT, CARL G. Essays in Metaphysics, by Members of the Philosophy Department, the Pennsylvania State University
The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1970. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Foxing on page ridges, dust jacket toned. Binding tight, text clean & unmarked. 1970 Hard Cover. v, 233 pages. "The contributors to this new volume, Essays in Metaphysics, reason that philosophy at its best is achieved when there is a merging of the eternal, the historical, and the immediately encounterable dimensions of man's experience and reflection. The contributions belong to the tradition that concerns itself explicitly with metaphysics, and thus pertain to the concepts of Being and Experience. The present undertaking therefore accords with the aims of the earlier volume, Essays in Philosophy, rearticulating these goals to make them relevant to the current situation, in which ontology stands once again at the center of philosophy and the impact of Continental thought has become even more strikingly evident. The Essays in this volume do not speak with a common voice. Some stress the eternal dimension, some the historical, others the concrete richness of human experience. Nevertheless each perceptively illustrates what is permanently valuable in the sometimes unpopular tradition of Western thought." CONTENTS: Introduction; On the Platonic Dialogue; Truthfulness in Kant's Metaphysical Morality; Hegel, Hesiod, and Xenophanes; Heidegger's Interpretation of Plato; The Role of Form, Value, and Novelty in Creative Activity; Art and Death; On Being a Person; Thoughts on Growing Up; Existence in Modern Logic; 'Existence' as a Predicate; Signs and Symbols; Being and God.
