Books by George Boas

This volume gathers work by Harold Cherniss, George Boas, Ludwig Edelstein, Leo Spitzer, and others.

He focuses on four central topics: the distinction between appearance and reality, the method used to establish the distinction, the appraisal of life made by the philosophers studied, and their ethical theories.

Animating Boas's account is his own belief in the importance of the individual's voice-as opposed to the voice of the masses, which is by no means necessarily that of God or reason.
