Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rosmini's Contribution to Ethical Philosophy Thus, if we want to know the meaning, character, and value of a philosophical system, we must replace it in its historical frame, in its natural background. We must regard it as the mental atti tude which the philosopher assumed towards the problems which were in the air when he lived. Only thus can we retrace the genesis of his ideas, his fundamental thought, and the leading motive of his intellectual efforts. Only then may we have the surest basis for understanding and appreciating his doctrine. To regard it as something merely abstract and isolated from human conditions, as independent of its author's universe of life and love, aloof from his reality and experience, or divorced from, and unrelated to the de mands and interests of his social milieu, would lead to inevitable failure.
