| Summary | "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 11 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays and philosophical writings compiled posthumously in the early 20th century. This volume brings together works that were either unpublished during Hazlitt's lifetime or were not included in earlier editions, showcasing his thoughts on topics such as abstract ideas, general philosophy, and critiques of other writers like Hobbes and Locke. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an exploration of abstract ideas, where Hazlitt aims to delve into the nature of generalization and reasoning, contrasting modern conceptions with those of historical figures such as Locke and Hobbes. He defends the necessity and existence of abstract thought against the criticisms posed by philosophers such as Hume and Berkeley. Hazlitt expresses skepticism about the idea that human understanding can be fully grounded in sensory experience alone, suggesting that the complexity of thought transcends simple material impressions, and intimates at a deeper philosophical inquiry into the nature of ideas and knowledge itself.
