Description
Outlines of Logic and Encyclopædia of Philosophy by Hermann Lotze, translated and edited by George T. Ladd, are key contributions to philosophical thought. These works present Lotze’s systematic approach to logic, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind, blending elements of idealism with scientific principles. Lotze’s philosophy emphasizes the importance of logic as a foundation for understanding the universe and human cognition, while also addressing the relationship between mind and reality. His integration of teleology with mechanism offered a unique perspective on the connection between the physical world and higher moral and aesthetic values.
