Excerpt from Some Popular Philosophy
The title of this little work may require some explanation. It is intended to be at once a modest and accurate indication of its scope.
Philosophy may be read in text-books, in encyclopaedias and, fragmentarily, in magazines, but all these are open to like objections to the "Man in the Street." The terminology is too technical; theories are too often treated as mere food for academic disputation, and discussion too rarely entered upon as aught but a mental gymnastic, an occasion for metaphysical logomachy.
And so, philosophy is to the many a closed book, and every man is to a large extent his own philosopher: theoretical philosophy, except among the cultured or the leisured, there is none.
