Principle Of Individuation In The Philosophy Of Josiah Royce (1916)

The Principle of Individuation in the Philosophy of Josiah Royce is a book written by Joseph Howard Philp in 1916. The book explores the philosophical ideas of Josiah Royce, a prominent American philosopher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Specifically, the book focuses on Royce's concept of individuation, which refers to the process by which individual entities come into being and are distinguished from one another.Philp begins by providing an overview of Royce's philosophical system, which he argues is centered on the idea of community. According to Royce, individuals are not isolated entities, but rather are interconnected and interdependent parts of a larger whole. Individuation, then, is the process by which individuals come to recognize and embrace their place within this larger community.Philp goes on to explore the various ways in which Royce conceptualizes individuation, including through the concepts of selfhood, loyalty, and the ideal community. He also examines the role of religion in Royce's philosophy, arguing that it serves as a means of connecting individuals to the larger community and facilitating the process of individuation.Overall, The Principle of Individuation in the Philosophy of Josiah Royce provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of Royce's ideas on individuation and their broader implications for philosophy and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
