Introduction

This guide will introduce you to how to find research materials in the library. Finding information for your research assignments is a process that will involve searching, reading, and searching again as you develop your understanding of your research topic. This guide will show you how to break down your research question, how to create a search strategy, and how to find materials such as journal articles, books, and theses both within the ANU Library and across external platforms such as Google scholar.

Looking for something in particular? Use the links on the side of the page to navigate to the relevant page.

Breaking down your question

Before you start searching, it's important to spend some time thinking about your topic. Look at your research question and try to figure out - which words are just telling you how to answer the question (evaluate, compare, describe, outline) and which words are essential to the idea of the topic? This will help you to pick out the keywords that you can use to create your search.

The main steps to creating an effective search strategy are:

  • Determine what the topic is.
  • Break down your question into doing words and key concepts.
  • Brainstorm related terms (different ways to describe your key concepts).
  • Consider how to best combine your search terms.
  • Consider using any special search operators like truncation symbols or wildcards.
  • Decide where you need to search.

For example, our topic might be to:

Investigate the impact of pollution on frog reproduction

The word investigate is telling us what we need to do in our answer. The key concepts are pollution and frog reproduction . These concepts will form the backbone of our search.

Using a table can be a useful way to look at your keywords. Once we've decided on our key phrases, we can use this table to brainstorm related terms or other ways to describe our key concepts. This makes sure we aren't missing out on great materials because they described a concept in a different way.

Creating a search strategy

Once you have worked out what your key concepts are and thought up some related terms, it's time to combine those terms into a search.

Databases don't process language in the same way as people, so we need to put our search in a way the database can understand. To do this, we use boolean operators .

Boolean operators and modifiers let you combine keywords and phrases to retrieve specific search results. They are inserted between your keywords and phrases, and must always appear in UPPER CASE.

For example:

Use  AND  to narrow or focus your search and retrieve records containing only the specified words. For example:

  • islam  AND  calligraphy
  • diet  AND  pregnancy                                AND  allergies  
  • rivers  AND  catchments

Use  OR  to broaden your search and retrieve records containing any of the words specified. For example:

  • frogs  OR  amphibians
  • bushfires  OR  wildfires
  • finance  OR  banking

anu digital thesis collection

Use  NOT  (which sometimes also appears as  AND NOT ) to narrow your search results and return records that do not contain a specified term. Note: Some search engines do not recognise NOT , so for these you will need to use the minus symbol. For example:

  • woodlands  NOT  forests woodlands -forests
  • opera  NOT  soap opera -soap
  • “conflict resolution”  NOT  international "conflict resolution" - international

anu digital thesis collection

Use parentheses  ( )  to group words and phrases together when combining the OR operator with an AND operator in the same search. This is sometimes referred to as Nesting. For example:

  • ( burma  OR  myanmar ) AND  facebook                                                                                                                                                          
  • (mouse  OR  mice )   AND ( gene  OR  pseudogene )
  • deregulation  AND ( finance  OR  banking )

And that's all there is to it!

There are many different methods you can use to search for the information you need. Remember, you might need to try a few different strategies or combinations of keywords to find the best results for your topic. You don't need to use all these operators at the same time or in every search.

If you're stuck, try and get creative and think outside the box! And remember the library is always here to help . Don't hesitate to get in touch if you need help.

In Australia the thesis is an extended written piece which reports on the results of a three to four year programme of research (in other countries the writing component is called a 'dissertation'). The thesis should incorporate a summary of the research undertaken during the program.

At ANU we do not usually require an oral defence or 'viva'. Your thesis will be sent to at least two examiners for evaluation . For more information about how examiners make a judgement on a thesis, read this paper by Mullins and Kiley called " It's a PhD, not a Nobel Prize ".

Types of thesis

There are three common types of thesis documents allowed in the ANU research award rules: a standard thesis of up to 100,000 words in length for a PhD (or 60,000 words for an M.Phil); a thesis by compilation (sometimes called a thesis by publication) and a thesis by creative works.

A thesis by compilation may include works that are solo or joint authored and accepted for publication. The compilation can include works which have been explicitly prepared for publication but not yet accepted, however these should not make up the majority of the text. It is expected that a thesis by compilation has linking text and a foreword to each chapter.

A thesis by creative works can include a multimedia or digital work, a film, an exhibition, a performance, a musical composition, a novel, a play, a series of poems, creative art work or other works as agreed by the candidate and the university. This work can be accompanied by an exegesis (commentary and interpretation of the work) or a dissertation (on a topic related to the work). Any written work accompanying a thesis by creative works must be substantial; between 30,000 and 60,000 words for a PhD and between 15,000 and 30,000 for an M.Phil. The final presentation of the work will be a public presentation; an exhibition, recital, lecture or some other form as agreed with the supervisor and the university.

Preparing the thesis

The Research Training team run a variety of workshops, seminars and courses aimed at helping you prepare your thesis as well as guidance on working with your supervisor to achieve a successful submission.

Writing the thesis

The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offer individual appointments to discuss thesis drafts and other issues such as managing your project. Their site also has a range of resources about writing a thesis to support you during your programme.

Reviewing the thesis

Writing about the impact of covid-19 in your thesis.

COVID-19 has changed the course of many research projects in ways that would not have been predicted at the outset you your PhD program. Research can always take unexpected turns and being able to take advantage of opportunities that arise, and be able to switch directions when necessary are useful skills to demonstrate. It is up to you to decide if you want to write about how your research has changed due to COVID-19. You are encouraged to talk with your supervisory panel to seek advice about what might be appropriate for your thesis.

The types of impact you might like to discuss include

  • changes to research sites or populations due to travel or access restrictions,
  • changes to research scope due to inability to access archival material,
  • changes in access to labs, or experimental equipment,
  • including theoretical instead of experimental content,

There is no right place to mention impacts, it will depend on the type of thesis and the type of research. It will also depend on how large the impact has been. For many the impact can be explained in a few sentences. For some projects a whole section of the thesis may be required. Some suggestions include

  • in the introduction when setting the scene for the research that follows
  • in the methodology section if changes to method was made part way through the research.
  • where discussing limitations of the research
  • where discussing ideas for future research

You should not include statements in your thesis that outline the impact of remote working, your physical or mental health or that of your family. While it is acknowledged that we have all been impacted in some way, these are not appropriate statements in your examined thesis and would not be assessed by an examiner.

Here is a unique collection of rare documents relating to the Japanese occupation of Korea, from the late nineteenth century up to 1945, representing a highly significant period in Korean history, and vital for a true understanding of many reflexes in the Koreas today. In 1876, Japan “opened” Korea to outside contact for the first time. What followed was a period of sparring with the Chinese over the right of influence in Korea, a rivalry which culminated in the Sino- Japanese war of 1894-95. Following victory, Japan steadily increased its presence and interference in Korean matters until the outright annexation of the country in 1910. Korea would remain a Japanese colony until the end of the Pacific War in 1945. Drawn from the holdings of the C.V. Starr East Asian Library at Columbia University, New York, the collection includes more than 62,000 pages in Japanese language, 18,000 pages of Western (in most cases English) early impressions of Korea, and Korean texts (16,000 pages).

Module 5: Correspondence: Domestic Life, Governance and Territorial Expansion

This collection provides a unique perspective on the complex geopolitical circumstances of India during the 18th century, and how the foundations of British colonialism were established through the activities and campaigns of the East India Company. Drawing from the personal and professional papers of two East India Company employees, Colonel Robert Clive and Brigadier-General John Carnac, the collection offers an insight into how the East India Company became increasingly influential after the weakening of the Mughal Empire during the 18th century.

Robert Clive was a British military commander and eventual Governor of Bengal. Through his political and military actions in India, he amassed vast personal wealth and played a key role in laying the foundations for British domination of India for the next few centuries. John Carnac served as Commander-in-Chief of the East India Company in India between 1760-1761, defeating the French supported forces of the Mughal Empire. He worked in tandem with Clive as they systematically expanded British influence on the subcontinent.

Of particular interest are events such as the pivotal Battle of Plassey in 1757, the ‘Black Hole of Calcutta’ incident, and the British military expedition against the Dutch in 1759. Together, the the papers enable researchers to study how the burgeoning commercial and political power of the East India Company turned into monolithic rule of the Indian subcontinent.

Religion, Reform, and Society examines the influence of both faith and skepticism on the shaping of many aspects of society—politics, law, economics, and social and radical reform movements. In the nineteenth century, the intellectual work of Comte, Marx, Weber, Darwin, Freud, and others unleashed secularizing impulses that gave rise to both new humanist religious projects and new faith-based social reform movements. The heightened interest in the perfection of man, the power of science, and the confidence in social progress also had an impact. Alongside Comte's positivist “religion of humanity,” utopian collectives, and settlement houses, there grew a new fascination with alternative spiritual and mystical practices.

The archive provides essential documentary materials that explore religious and philosophical movements in reaction to dramatic changes in culture and society wrought by the industrial revolution and modernity. Topics covered include positivism and anti-positivism, freethinking, the cooperative movement, alternative Christianities, and the application of the social principles of Christianity to everyday life by a variety of denominations.

  • The telegraph historical archive    Launched in 1855, the Telegraph was the first daily morning paper. By 1876, the Telegraph was the largest-selling newspaper in the world, with a circulation of 300,000. Under the editorship of poet and Orientalist Edwin Arnold from 1873 to 1899, the newspaper published widely on foreign affairs and foreign cultures. Its dedication to foreign news coverage was evidenced by its employment of several renowned special correspondents over the years; Winston Churchill, who reported from India in 1897, Rudyard Kipling, who braved the trenches of the First World War, and Clare Hollingworth, who, as the first female war correspondent, relayed the start of the Second World War from Poland. During the twentieth century, the Telegraph cemented its reputation as a pioneering yet reliable source of news reporting. The newspaper's commitment to lively copy was matched by its desire to position itself at the forefront of journalistic innovation; it published the first crossword to appear in a newspaper in 1925, the first television column in 1935, and became the first British newspaper to launch a website in 1994. The publication of the Telegraph is generally seen by press historians as the start of a new era of journalism that emerged following the repeal of the stamp duty, marking the first step towards the mass-market journalism of the Daily Mail. The Telegraph Historical Archive, 1855-2000 has over 1 million pages of content and includes the Sunday edition from its inception in 1961. The archive offers a fundamental insight into domestic and international affairs and culture over a time span of almost 150 years.

This database is organised around the history of women in social movements in the United States between 1600 and 2000. The collection includes the full text of document projects, archives, book reviews, film reviews, website reviews, notes from the archives, and teaching tools.

Women and Social Movements, International is a landmark collection of primary materials. Through the writings of women activists, their personal letters and diaries, and the proceedings of conferences at which pivotal decisions were made, this collection lets you see how women’s social movements shaped much of the events and attitudes that have defined modern life.

This collection looks at women’s global economic participation and activism over an entire century. It sets out to reveal and assess a realm of individual efforts, organizational initiatives and socio-cultural projects led by or for women in the Global South. Within this framework, the project contextualizes gender, opportunity, and struggle. It includes previously undigitized primary sources, hard-to-find materials, curated selection of government documents, and contextual essays.

This resource is comprised of two distinct elements: 1. Original documents on the suffrage question in Britain, the Empire and colonial territories; 2. A finding aid to women's studies resources in The National Archives. The original documents cover the campaign for women's suffrage in Britain, 1903-1928 and the granting of women's suffrage in colonial territories, 1930-1962.

A breadth of printed and manuscript sources over four centuries, providing a multitude of perspectives on the changing roles of women in history. This collection offers access to the works and legacy of many notable and influential women, but also a chance to hear the voices of forgotten and ordinary women.

Highlights include:

  • Papers and rare printed works of important female writers and thinkers
  • Life writing and autobiographies of a range of 18th and 19th century women
  • The papers of Sylvia Pankhurst, suffragette, political activist and campaigner
  • Diaries and correspondence of aristocratic women, giving insights into the social, political and cultural history of rich and powerful women of the 18th and 19th centuries
  • Women's travel writing - manuscript and printed accounts of women travellers, missionaries, tourists and women living across the British Empire.
  • Women's Studies Archive: Women’s Issues and Identities    A comprehensive, academic-level archival resource focusing on the social, political, and professional achievements of women throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century. Along with providing a closer look at some of the pioneers of women’s movements, this collection offers scholars great insight into the issues that have affected women and the many contributions they have made to society. Topics covered include: the history of feminist theory and activism; domestic culture; lay and ordained church women; women in industry; women’s sexuality and gender expression; women’s education; women’s movements; women’s health and mental health; women and law; women and the control of their bodies; and women’s roles and interactions within society.
  • World Bank Documents and Reports    The Documents & Reports (D&R) site is an official disclosure mechanism for the World Bank Group’s final reports.

This collection contains copies of three English language newspapers published in India during the period 1782-1908: The India Gazette (1782-1834); The Bengal Hurkaru and Chronicle (1822-1866); and The Bengal Times (1876-1908).

These newspapers were primarily sold to colonial businessmen, merchants, and administrators with an interest in regional and international trade. Editors and reporters therefore focussed on providing readers with an overview of significant political, military, economic, scientific, and societal trends, as well as their potential impact on stocks, commodities, and other investments.

Subjects covered range from the American Revolution and the Crimean War to British parliamentary debates on the India Act of 1858 and the dramatic industrial and pharmaceutical breakthroughs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. India, England, France, Ireland, Italy, the United States, and China receive the most attention, though items regarding other nations also feature.

From politics to human rights to environmental issues, protests and reform movements have shaped modern global society. A protest that marked a turning point in one country, however, may have had entirely different consequences for another. Readex's World Protest and Reform Movements is the only digital resource that brings diverse global reactions to major 20th-century social movements together into a single fully searchable resource. This unique collection of primary source material offers researchers in a variety of disciplines valuable insight into the protests and reforms that changed the course of world history.

Esmé Howard (1863-1939) is widely regarded as one of the most influential British diplomats of the early-20th century. Howard held a number of important posts before serving as British Ambassador to the United States between 1924 and 1930. This collection contains Howard’s papers, from private correspondence to professional records. These documents provide an interesting insight into the evolution of British foreign policy during and between the two world wars.

In this collection The Library of Congress makes available online approximately 1,900 posters created between 1914 and 1920. Most were printed in the United States, however posters from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Russia are also included.

ANU world-class theses collection available online

Providing open access to our ANU theses collection will expand engagement with our research, provide visibility to the ground-breaking work being done, and support the careers of the ANU academic community

Students and academics at the Australian National University have been producing significant and original research since the university first opened.

Much of this research was put forward in PhD and higher degree research theses – covering a wide range of topics, across many disciplines. These theses have made a huge impact to the economy, society, environment and culture beyond their contribution to academia.

ANU Provost Professor Mike Calford believes that ANU research has had an extraordinary impact around the world.

“One of the roles of a university is to transform society with our research,” said Professor Calford.

“I am very proud of the research generated by The Australian National University. The stock of knowledge produced by our researchers generates new ideas, revolutionises technology and helps to transform society.”

“But above that, I am incredibly proud of our students. ANU has produced not only world-class research, but world-class researchers, practitioners, academics and business people who have made important and transformative contributions to the community.”

The ANU Library has digitised the entire collection of theses developed by ANU PhD and research higher degree students. All those without restrictions have been made available online through the Open Research Repository , to increase their accessibility and research impact.

This is part of the University’s continued commitment to digitisation and providing access to our world-class research.

Professor Calford recognises the importance of the research recorded in the theses collection.

“We can clearly see the huge influence that ANU theses have made to modern research. Just last year we had over 935,000 downloads of ANU theses, and almost 90% of these were downloaded by researchers outside Australia.”

“This project will see research once largely hidden from view being exposed to people from all around the world. By making our unique and original research available in an open access collection, we boost research knowledge.”

University Librarian Roxanne Missingham is excited about the possibilities of greater access to ANU research.

“Providing open access to our ANU theses collection will expand engagement with our research, provide visibility to the ground-breaking work being done, and support the careers of the ANU academic community,” said Roxanne Missingham.

“We are also reducing barriers to access information. This will assist not only researchers, but those who are able to benefit from the outcomes of the research.”

The ANU Library will be showcasing some of the 13,000+ theses that you can now access online through the Open Research repository.

You will be able to see new theses online following the introduction of a new digital system to support higher degree students in the University.

You can search and browse to find a wealth of research in the ANU Library theses collection .

ANU-Digital Collections: An Information Systems Design Theory for E-learning

Profile image of David  Jones

This thesis seeks to offer an answer to the problem of how to design, implement and support information systems that effectively and efficiently support e-learning within universities. This problem is increasingly prevalent and important to the operation of universities. It is also a problem where existing solutions are limited in terms of variety, quality and explicit theoretical guidance.

Abstract This paper describes the formulation of a design theory for an information system to support learning and teaching within an institution of higher education. The design theory has been tested via an instantiation that is about to enter its tenth year of operation and has been used by thousands of people.

Purpose – This paper aims to focus on how the e-library interoperates with the e-learning process within the academic computing environment (ACE) at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU). Design/methodology/approach – This paper is inspired by the existing findings of a questionnaire survey conducted by the Laptop Project at the UAEU (2002-2003) and sequel research (2004-2005) on the acceptance and adoption of the Blackboard, a web-based instructional platform, by the students. Personal interviews were conducted with the instructors who were involved in the e-learning initiative to find out the appropriate e-information services that should be provided to support their respective Blackboard-aided courses. Findings – The paper finds that the instructors have viewed e-learning as a sound instructional tool and an evolving genre capable of providing more than just textual information. According to their viewpoints, the e-library could support e-learning courses with a bundle of networked e-information services such as development of course-related electronic collections, virtual reference help, current awareness and SDI, online document delivery, etc. E-literacy was found to play an essential role in fostering adoption and acceptance of e-learning, whereas the language barrier has constrained e-learning initiative in the colleges where Arabic is the teaching language, i.e. Blackboard does not support creation of Arabic contents and interface so far. Practical implications – The capabilities of the e-library in providing networked e-information services have made the integration with the e-learning process a highly urgent requirement. Originality/value – A model representing the integration of the e-library functions with the e-learning process is presented in the paper. The proposed model could be applicable in learning settings within an academic computing environment.

This paper reports on an exploratory reusability study of digital learning material. Materials from eight university professors and the corresponding chat interviews were collected and analyzed from a qualitative inquiry perspective and using the grounded theory method. Sensitizing initial concepts from education, design, computer and information science were used in the initial approach to collect data, but the analysis results were rooted in actual material and chat texts. Interviews with university professors and the analysis of different digital learning materials led the research team to define eight categories or code families which are related to reusability. Such code families are: (1) learning promotion, (2) access, (3) emotional appeal, (4) technical suitability, (5) effective graphical and textual communication, (6) creativity, (7) collaboration, and (8) subject authority and the y offer the structural elements for designing and implementing collections of digital learning material. The latter are the basis for knowledge management oriented systems aimed at sharing and preserving digital learning materials.

However physically big libraries designed for the benefits of students attending universities are, the sources they include are more important. Considering the increasing capacities of universities, the problems that libraries encounter with are increasing day by day. Therefore, it is necessary for universities to adopt the concept of e-library and to take electronic librarianship into consideration while restructuring the services provided by universities via their libraries. The purpose of this study was to determine the needs by revealing the interface features, differences, ease of use, comprehensibility for users and the advantages and disadvantages of the system in the processes of e-library designing. In this respect, it is believed that students will be provided with better services with the increase in the quality of education at universities that will use e-library.

Hegel’s Construction of The Phenomenology , November 1844 Plan for a Work on The Modern State , November 1844

||XXXIX| I have already announced in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher the critique of jurisprudence and political science in the form of a critique of the Hegelian philosophy of law . While preparing it for publication, the intermingling of criticism directed only against speculation with criticism of the various subjects themselves proved utterly unsuitable, hampering the development of the argument and rendering comprehension difficult. Moreover, the wealth and diversity of the subjects to be treated could have been compressed into one work only in a purely aphoristic style; whilst an aphoristic presentation of this kind, for its part, would have given the impression of arbitrary systematism. I shall therefore publish the critique of law, ethics, politics, etc., in a series of distinct, independent pamphlets, and afterwards try in a special work to present them again as a connected whole showing the interrelationship of the separate parts, and lastly attempt a critique of the speculative elaboration of that material. For this reason it will be found that the interconnection between political economy and the state, law, ethics, civil life, etc., is touched upon in the present work only to the extent to which political economy itself expressly touches upon these subjects.

It is hardly necessary to assure the reader conversant with political economy that my results have been attained by means of a wholly empirical analysis based on a conscientious critical study of political economy.

(Whereas the uninformed reviewer who tries to hide his complete ignorance and intellectual poverty by hurling the “ utopian phrase ” at the positive critic’s head, or again such phrases as “quite pure, quite resolute, quite critical criticism,” the “not merely legal but social – utterly social – society,” the “compact, massy mass,” the “outspoken spokesmen of the massy mass,” [2] this reviewer has yet to furnish the first proof that besides his theological family affairs he has anything to contribute to a discussion of worldly matters.)

It goes without saying that besides the French and English socialists I have also used German socialist works. The only original German works of substance in this science, however – other than Weitling’s writings – are the essays by Hess published in Einundzwanzig Bogen [3] and Umrisse zu einer Kritik der Nationalökonomie by Engels in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher, where also the basic elements of this work have been indicated by me in a very general way.

(Besides being indebted to these authors who have given critical attention to political economy, positive criticism as a whole – and therefore also German positive criticism of political economy – owes its true foundation to the discoveries of Feuerbach , against whose Philosophie der Zukunft and Thesen zur Reform der Philosophie in the Anekdota, despite the tacit use that is made of them, the petty envy of some and the veritable wrath of others seem to have instigated a regular conspiracy of silence.

It is only with Feuerbach that positive, humanistic and naturalistic criticism begins. The less noise they make, the more certain, profound, extensive, and enduring is the effect of Feuerbach’s writings, the only writings since Hegel’s Phänomenologie and Logik to contain a real theoretical revolution.

In contrast to the critical theologians of our day, I have deemed the concluding chapter of this work – a critical discussion of Hegelian dialectic and philosophy as a whole to be absolutely necessary, a task not yet performed. This lack of thoroughness is not accidental, since even the critical theologian remains a theologian. Hence, either he has to start from certain presuppositions of philosophy accepted as authoritative; or, if in the process of criticism and as a result of other people’s discoveries doubts about these philosophical presuppositions have arisen in him, he abandons them in a cowardly and unwarrantable fashion, abstracts from them, thus showing his servile dependence on these presuppositions and his resentment at this servility merely in a negative, unconscious and sophistical manner.

(He does this either by constantly repeating assurances concerning the purity of his own criticism, or by trying to make it seem as though all that was left for criticism to deal with now was some other limited form of criticism outside itself – say eighteenth-century criticism – and also the limitations of the masses, in order to divert the observer’s attention as well as his own from the necessary task of settling accounts between criticism and its point of origin – Hegelian dialectic and German philosophy as a whole – that is, from this necessary raising of modern criticism above its own limitation and crudity. Eventually, however, whenever discoveries (such as Feuerbach’s ) are made regarding the nature of his own philosophic presuppositions, the critical theologian partly makes it appear as if he were the one who had accomplished this, producing that appearance by taking the results of these discoveries and, without being able to develop them, hurling them in the form of catch-phrases at writers still caught in the confines of philosophy. He partly even manages to acquire a sense of his own superiority to such discoveries by asserting in a mysterious way and in a veiled, malicious and skeptical fashion elements of the Hegelian dialectic which he still finds lacking in the criticism of that dialectic (which have not yet been critically served up to him for his use) against such criticism – not having tried to bring such elements into their proper relation or having been capable of doing so, asserting, say, the category of mediating proof against the category of positive, self-originating truth, (...) in a way peculiar to Hegelian dialectic. For to the theological critic it seems quite natural that everything has to be done by philosophy, so that he can chatter away about purity, resoluteness, and quite critical criticism; and he fancies himself the true conqueror of philosophy whenever he happens to feel some element [4] in Hegel to be lacking in Feuerbach – for however much he practises the spiritual idolatry of “ self-consciousness ” and “mind” the theological critic does not get beyond feeling to consciousness.)

On close inspection theological criticism – genuinely progressive though it was at the inception of the movement – is seen in the final analysis to be nothing but the culmination and consequence of the old philosophical, and especially the Hegelian, transcendentalism, twisted into a theological caricature. This interesting example of historical justice, which now assigns to theology, ever philosophy’s spot of infection, the further role of portraying in itself the negative dissolution of philosophy, i.e., the process of its decay – this historical nemesis I shall demonstrate on another occasion. [5]

(How far, on the other hand, Feuerbach’s discoveries about the nature of philosophy still, for their proof at least, called for a critical discussion of philosophical dialectic will be seen from my exposition itself.) ||LX|
