Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a profound and meticulously argued treatise, sets out to re-establish the foundations of philosophy on the firm ground of true principles. It asserts that ideas, or likenesses of things, are insufficient to give us any true or certain knowledge of the things themselves. The author, a philosopher of great erudition, argues that the Cartesian and Lockean methods of seeking knowledge through the contemplation of ideas have led philosophy astray. Instead, he proposes a method that begins with the things themselves, and builds knowledge upon the solid ground of their real natures. This book is a significant contribution to the history of philosophy, and its insights into the nature of knowledge and reality continue to be relevant today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of knowledge and the nature of reality.
