Vaihinger's Philosophy of the As If is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that explores the philosophical ideas of Hans Vaihinger. Vaihinger's theory of the as if suggests that many of the concepts and ideas we use in our daily lives are not necessarily based on objective reality, but rather on our subjective interpretations of the world around us. He argues that we often use these concepts as if they were true, even though we know they are not. Mead delves into Vaihinger's ideas and discusses their implications for various areas of philosophy, including epistemology, ethics, and metaphysics. He also explores the connections between Vaihinger's theory and other philosophical schools, such as pragmatism and existentialism. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Vaihinger's philosophy and its relevance to contemporary philosophical discussions.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Quests Old and New, by G.
