“Philosophy, like science, consists of theories or insights arrived at as a result of systemic reflection or reasoning in regard to the data of experience. It involves, therefore, the analysis of experience and the synthesis of the results of analysis into a comprehensive or unitary conception. Philosophy seeks a totality and harmony of reasoned insight into the nature and meaning of all the principal aspects of reality.” PhilosophyRealityResultsTheoryReflectionAspectHarmonyRegardInsightDataAnalysisReasoningConceptionPrincipalComprehensiveTotalitySynthesis Author:Joseph Alexander Leighton
“A system of philosophy, or metaphysics, is a union of a world view and a life view in one harmonious, complete, integral conception. In so far as any man strives to attain, by rational inquiry, a consistent and comprehensive view of life and reality, he is a metaphysician.” MenWorldPhilosophyRealityViewsUnionsStriveRationalConsistentConceptionMetaphysicsStrifeInquiryComprehensiveHarmoniousWorld View Book:Man and the Cosmos - An introduction to Metaphysics.
