Reflections Upon Learning: Wherein Is Shewn the Insufficiency; Thereof
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reflects on the human mind's capacities for understanding and choosing. The author begins with a skeptical look at human reason and will, positing that both are inherently weak and susceptible to contamination by pride and corruption. He then revisits major philosophical systems through history, including Platonism, Aristotelianism, and Cartesianism, along with more modern ideas. The author does not declare one school of thought superior, but rather points out weaknesses in each and acknowledges the persistence of skeptical arguments throughout philosophical thought. Many of the book's ideas engage with the skeptical position that truth is fundamentally elusive, and instead of offering a singular truth, the author suggests many of the insights gained through philosophical inquiry are provisional and modest. Nonetheless, the book's skepticism is not a counsel for despair. Instead, it is offered as a liberating force that can free readers from the trap of dogmatic thinking and encourage them to think for themselves, and embrace uncertainty as a fundamental part of the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330773697_0
