Logic or the Morphology of Knowledge

1888. In Two Volumes. Bosanquet, British philosopher, political theorist and social reformer, who was one of the principal exponents (with F.H. Bradley) of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Absolute Idealism explains in the Preface to this volume: The conception of Logical Science, which has been my guide in the present work, is that of an unprejudiced study of the forms of knowledge in their development, their interconnection, and their comparative value as embodiments of truth. If an attempt founded on such a conception appears to err by over-ambitiousness, I can only plead that an honest effort in the right direction does not depend for its value solely on its intrinsic success. It is at any rate a heavy wager laid by the author on his judgment of the true aim and future of his science, and may attain results as a suggestion which it misses as an achievement. Logic or the Morphology of Knowledge is one of his principle works.
