Opis: The Philosophical Writings of Richard Burthogge (Classic Reprint) - Burthogge Richard

Excerpt from The Philosophical Writings of Richard Burthogge

This book is published in the hope of securing for Richard Burthogge the place which he deserves yet has never held in the history of British thought. Its editors wish to share with other students the rediscovery, which they owe to Georges Lyon, of a seventeenth-century English philosopher so free from the prepossessions of his Platonist contemporaries that he "grounds notions" in sense and so far advanced in the path which, a century later, Kant trod that he says: "The immediate objects of humane cogitation are all appearances, which are not properly in the things themselves."

All the writings collected in this volume are reprints from first editions in the possession of the Harvard University Library. All are printed entire save the Essay upon Reason, of which the greater part and (it is believed) the essential part is given including the chapter and section headings of the omitted chapters. The old orthography of English, Greek and Latin has, for the most part, been retained. Bracketed numbers are the page-numbers of the original editions. The kindness of the Harvard Library, in allowing the use of the texts, is gratefully acknowledged.
