Cover; Half Title; Title Page; Copyright Page; Original Title Page; Original Copyright Page; Dedication; Preface; Table of Contents; Chapter I The Revolt Against Reason; 1. Reason in its nuclear sense is the grasp of necessity; 2. It has lost respect through a cultural revolution; 3. Which Has Had Many Causes; 4. The decline has continued over several decades; 5. Philosophy at the turn of the century was dominated by idealistic rationalism; 6. Which has now almost wholly vanished; 7. The attack on it was opened by realists; 8. And continued by naturalists
9. Instrumentalism sought to replace contemplative reason by practical intelligence10. Logical empiricism discountenanced the rational knowledge of nature; 11. Linguistic philosophy has shifted interest away from speculative thought; 12. Existentialism is deeply sceptical of reason; 13. In theology the current emphasis is on the inadequacy of reason; 14. In psychology, Freud reduced the work of reason largely to rationalization; 15. Making reason the veneer of powerful non-rational impulses; 16. In sociology belief in an objective reason gave way to cultural relativity 17. Which was applied by Mannheim to reason itself18. In politics, the trust in reasonableness was a casualty of two wars; 19. And of three anti-rational dictatorships; 20. Irrational nationalism remains a major peril; 21. In literary criticism the appeal to sanity appears outmoded; 22. And there is a wide acquiescence in meaninglessness; 23. The most popular revivals from the past are those of anti-rationalists; 24. The subject of this book is the revolt against reason in philosophy; Chapter II The Idea of Reason in Western Thought; 1. Reason is taken to differentiate man from the animals 2. When so taken, reason has four distinguishable components3. Its chief early application is in the connection of means with ends; 4. The free use of theoretic reason seems to have been achieved first by the Greeks; 5. And depended on their notion of form; 6. (1) Form as essence meant logical definition; 7. (2) Form as end involved implicit purpose; 8. (3) Form as law made possible a knowledge of the connection of concepts, which was; 9. (i) Certain; 10. (ii) Novel; 11. (iii) Independent of sense; 12. (iv) Universal; 13. (v) Objective; 14. (vi) Independent of time 15. (4) Form as system implied a world of interlinked concepts16. The exercise of reason was, for the Greeks, a condition of the good life; 17. The Greek conception of reason has been dominant in western thought; 18. Descartes held certainty to be the product of reason alone; 19. He analysed the method of reason as pursued in mathematics; 20. This method could be applied universally, in spite of inner obstacles; 21. And even more formidable ones in nature; 22. Spinoza's rationalism had richer motives than that of Descartes; 23. Progress in reason was for him the end of life 24. The advance was from the contingent knowledge of common sense |

Cover; Half Title; Title page; Copyright Page; Original Title Page; Original Copyright Page; Dedication; Preface; Table of Contents; Chapter I The tension between reason and feeling in western ethics; 1. Is reason or feeling primary in moral judgment?; 2. The issue is of practical importance; 3. It is rooted in an ancient tension in western ethics; 4. Greek moralists conceived life as the striving for an end; 5. Which became explicit only in ethical reflection; 6. And involved a world-view; 7. They held that knowledge was required for virtue and led to it
8. Their ethical ideal produced many remarkable characters9. The Christian emphasis was not on knowledge, but on love; 10. Which was essentially, though not merely, feeling; 11. The Greek and Christian emphases are thus in sharp contrast; 12. But we regard both as essential in the appraising of conduct; Chapter II Stoicism and the supremacy of reason; 1. The Stoic ideal was, in a double sense, comformity to reason; 2. Which required the acceptance of all that happened as necessary; 3. And engendered extraordinary fortitude of character; 4. Feeling was mastered through reconceiving its object 5. A method effective in controlling anger and fear6. But understanding events does not necessarily make them acceptable; 7. And if it dissolves evil, it also dissolves good; 8. Stoic fortitude paralysed sympathy; 9. The total suppression of feeling would destroy all value; 10. And entail the wreck of the moral life; 11. The importance of feeling has been vividly attested by Mill; Chapter III St Francis and the supremacy of feeling; 1. There have been various experiments on governing life by feeling; 2. Of which that of St Francis is the most attractive 3. It involved a total surrender to love4. A love that extended to the animal world, and even beyond; 5. St Francis repudiated intellectual interest; 6. As is shown in his theology and his practice; 7. He sought to embody a love that was wholly selfless; 8. But this unhappily conflicts with justice; 9. And humility, when unqualified, is incoherent; 10. His attitude toward mateial goods was slf-defeating; 11. Indeed love itself is self-defeating when not implemented by knowledge; 12. And is unable by itself to discriminate among its objects; 13. Summary Chapter IV The dialectic of reason and feeling in british ethics1. Opinion is divided on belief and feeling in moral judgment; 2. British thought upon it has shown a dialectic movement; 3. According to Clarke, the perception of rightness was intellectual; 4. Moral judgments do in some respects resemble mathematical; 5. But (1) they are far less definite in their terms; 6. (2) They require reference to consequences, not to timeless consequents; 7. And (3) they involve feeling; 8. Hence Shaftesbury and Hutcheson made goodness akin to beauty 9. And held the organ of its apprehension to be a 'moral sense' |
