This text compiles a series of lectures centered on foundational philosophical concepts, focusing on the interrelations of truth, beauty, and morality. Cousin elaborates on the principles of philosophy and aims to establish a doctrine that blends modern philosophical thought with spiritualism, emphasizing the importance of universal truths that transcend individual experiences. At the start of the work, the author presents his motivations for compiling these lectures after requests to collect his thoughts into a coherent system. He reflects on the relationship between philosophy and the critical analyses from the previous century, specifically addressing the problems of empirical and rationalist schools of thought. Cousin sets the stage for a discourse on universal and necessary principles that govern knowledge, illustrating the importance of introspection and reason in understanding these concepts. The opening context highlights a structured approach to philosophy, underscoring the necessity of debate and the continuous evolution of ideas within the realm of human thought.
