V.-METAPHYSICS AND ETHICS.

(George Munro Professorship.)

Professor....

.JAMES SETH, M. A.

Metaphysics Class (Third and Fourth Years).

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10-11 A. M.

After an introductory account of the nature and scope of Philosophy in its various departments, and a general sketch of the history of Metaphysics, attention will be concentrated on Modern metaphysical theories. Here the history of Cartesianism will first be traced; and afterwards, in more detail, the development of modern Sensationalism in Locke, Berkeley and Hume, leading up to the Critical Philosophy of Kant. The significance of Berkeley in the latter movement will receive special attention, and his philosophy, as contained in the class Text Book, will be made the subject of detailed study, oral examination and discussion.

1ext Book: Fraser's Selections from Berkeley, (Clarendon Press Series.)

Ethics Class (Fourth Year).

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 11 A. M.-12 M.

The work of this class will consist of two parallel courses, (1) Theoretical; (2) Historical.

(1). In the Theoretical Course, after an introductory account of the nature, subject-matter and method of Ethics, its relation to other branches of philosophy, and more particularly to psychology, the subject will be considered under two heads, as follows:

(a.) The nature of Moral Action -the ethical End or Standard, as explained in Intuitionalism; Hedonism, Egoistic, Altruistic and Evolutionistic; and Transcendentalism.

(b.) The nature of Moral Agency or Will-power, as explained in Libertarianism, Determinisin and Transcendentalism.

(2.) In the Historical Course, an account will be given of the history of Greek Ethics, that of modern Ethics being treated in connection with the theoretical course.

The work of the class will be conducted mainly by lectures, but will also embrace oral examination and discussion in class. Occasional short essays will also be prescribed.

Text Books: (Theoretical) Calderwood's Hand-book of Moral Philosophy, (Macmillan & Co.); (Historical) Sidgwick's Outlines of the History of Ethics (Macmillan & Co.).

Advanced Class.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 M-1 P. M.

This class is intended mainly, though not exclusively, for candidates for Honours in Philosophy.

The following courses will be given in alternate sessions :

A. Ethics. (1.) In Ancient Ethics, Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics will be made the subject of detailed study.

(2.) In Modern Ethics, the theories of Kant, Green, Spencer and Sidgwick will be critically examined and compared.

B. Metaphysics. (1) In Ancient Metaphysics, after an account of Early Greek Philosophy, Plato's speculative views, as they may be gathered from the various Dialogues, will be specially studied.

(2.) In Modern Metaphysics, the course will be devoted to the Philosophy of Kant, as explained in the Critique of Pure Reason, and in its relations to later German Philosophy as well as to present philosophical problems and tendencies.

In session 1887-8, Course A will be given.
