Excerpt from Philosophy: What Is It?
One of the branches of the Workers" Educational Association expressed a desire to know what Philosophy is; thereby assuming that Philosophy is a concern of the average man and of practical life, and should not be the monopoly of the professed student. Of the truth of this view there can be no doubt, and this book consists of the five lectures which were given by way of an attempt, not so much to answer their question as to bring out the meaning of the question. Hence the interrogative form of the title - Philosophy: what is it?
The attempt was necessarily made, in the discussion of the question, to avoid technical terms as far as possible. Without technical terms it is impossible, it may be said, to go very far in the discussion.
