520 0# - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the aspects of the activity call philosophy. The problems selected for treatment are among those that have occupied the minds of reflective men since the first glimmerings of wonder and inquiry touched the dark corners of ignorance and unexamined belief. Philosophy, perhaps the oldest of intellectual enterprises, has been a virtual vanguard in man's ancient (and often times anguished) quest for a valid view of himself and his place in the world. It is with the work of the philosopher, therefore, that we shall be concerned -- his problems, his methods of dealing with them, and the difficulties he and all of us encounter when engaged in the activity of philosophy.
