E. Taylor is a philosophical text written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the fundamental questions about reality and existence, examining the nature of metaphysical inquiry and its distinction from other fields of knowledge such as science, poetry, and religion. It offers a critical analysis of the principles underlying our understanding of reality versus mere appearance. The opening of the book presents Taylor's challenge to common prejudices against metaphysics, arguing for its necessity and relevance in addressing contradictions inherent in human experience. He outlines the core issues of metaphysics, such as the distinction between what is real and what merely appears to be real, and emphasizes the importance of systematic inquiry in understanding these concepts. Taylor contrasts metaphysical exploration with scientific reasoning and common skepticism, positing that true understanding requires grappling with the meanings of reality amidst our experiences and perceptions rather than dismissing these inquiries as futile.
