A System Of Metaphysics

by George Stuart Fullerton

""A System of Metaphysics"" is a philosophical treatise written by George Stuart Fullerton. The book explores the fundamental nature of reality, including the nature of existence, causation, and the relationship between mind and matter. Fullerton draws on the works of classical philosophers such as Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, as well as contemporary thinkers like William James and Henri Bergson, to develop his own unique system of metaphysics. He argues that reality is composed of both material and immaterial substances, and that the mind plays a crucial role in shaping our perception of the world. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to the field of metaphysics for both students and general readers. Overall, ""A System of Metaphysics"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

George Stuart Fullerton was an American philosopher and psychologist.

He graduated in 1879 from the University of Pennsylvania and in 1884 from Yale Divinity School. In 1904 he was appointed professor of philosophy at Columbia University, and served as head of the department.

He was the host of the first annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in 1892 at the University of Pennsylvania, and the APA's fifth president, in 1896.

In 1914, while he was exchange professor at the University of Vienna, World War I broke out. He was Lecturing at Munich, Germany, when he was imprisoned as a civilian enemy national. He remained imprisoned for four years, until the end of the war, and conditions were so harsh that he returned to the U.S. with his health permanently damaged. Nearly an invalid for the last decade of his life, Fullerton committed suicide at the age of 66.
