Excerpt from Introduction to Philosophy: Translated With the Author's Sanction by Frank Thilly IT gives me great pleasure to be sponsor to our public for Professor Paulsen's Introduction to Philosophy. For many years past young Americans have brought back tales from Berlin University of the wide-spread interest in Phi losophy which Professor Paulsen's lectures were arousing there and of the great in¿uence of his Introduction over students not pursuing a technically philosophical career. Two years ago these introductory lectures were published in the form of the present book. Professor Paulsen is a farmer's son, was born in 1846 in Schleswig Holstein, took his ph.d. Degree at Berlin in 1871, became Privat-docent in '75, extraordinary-professor in '77, and full professor in 1893. The temper of his mind is essentially ethical, and philosophy for him is nothing if it do not con nect itself with active human ideals. His most important publications besides the present one are on Ethics and Pedagogics. His History of German Universities has just been translated into English by Prof. E. D. Perry of Columbia College, and published by Macmillan, 1895. He writes a style of which even English readers must feel the euphony as well as admire the clearness, and which (nu consciously, no doubt, to the author) reveals his heart as much as it displays his technical mastery.
