Initiation Into Philosophy is a book written by Emile Faguet, a French literary critic and philosopher. The book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of philosophy and is intended to be accessible to beginners. It covers a wide range of topics, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. Faguet provides a clear and concise overview of each topic, explaining key concepts and theories in a straightforward manner. He also includes numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand complex ideas. The book is organized into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of philosophy. Faguet begins with an introduction to the discipline of philosophy and its history, and then moves on to explore various philosophical schools of thought, such as rationalism, empiricism, and existentialism. He also discusses the major philosophers of each school, including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche. Throughout the book, Faguet emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and encourages readers to engage with philosophical ideas and arguments. Overall, Initiation Into Philosophy is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the world of philosophy.THE LOGIC OF STOICISM.--Stoicism existed as a germ in the Cynic philosophy (and also in Socrates) as did Epicureanism in Aristippus. Zeno was the pupil of Crates. In extreme youth he opened a school at Athens in the Poecile. The Poecile was a portico; portico in Greek is stoa, hence the name of Stoic. Zeno taught for about thirty years; then, on the approach of age, he died by his own hand. Zeno thought, as did Epicurus and Socrates, that philosophy should only be the science of life and that the science of life lay in wisdom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
