Epistemology; Or the Theory of Knowledge, Vol. 1 of 2: An Introduction to General Metaphysics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Epistemology; Or the Theory of Knowledge, Vol. 1 of 2: An Introduction to General Metaphysics
The present work, which was commenced on the publication of the author's Ontology, is written from the same general standpoint as the Ontology and his earlier treatise on The Science of Logic. It aims at applying the principles of Scholasticism to the solution of the problems raised by a critical inquiry into the validity of knowledge and the grounds of certitude. It does not purport to be in any sense a history of theories of knowledge, or to supply anything like an adequate bibliography of works on the subject. It is primarily a text-book for the use of university students in philosophy, though it is hoped that a perusal of it may be found helpful to all who desire a closer acquaintance with the attitude of modern scholastic writers towards the critical problems which almost monopolize the attention of philosophers nowadays. It is needless to emphasize the growing importance of such problems in this age of restless inquiry and scepticism. Nor will a text-book in English from the standpoint of Scholasticism be deemed superfluous.
Kant's theory of knowledge is the only non-scholastic theory examined in any considerable detail: because most of the modern theories draw their inspiration directly or indirectly from principles propounded in the Critiques, so that the student who can appraise these principles on their merits will be in a position to deal with those theories in whatever guise they may confront him.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound and enduring questions surrounding human knowledge: What is knowledge? How do we acquire it? Can we be certain of its truth? Tracing the historical development of theories of knowledge from the ancient Greeks to present-day thinkers, the author examines the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, including sensualism, intellectualism, and skepticism. Through rigorous analysis, the book explores the roles of our senses and intellect in shaping our understanding of reality, and delves into the complex relationship between knowledge and truth. By critically examining the assumptions underlying both everyday beliefs and scientific inquiry, this book challenges readers to re-evaluate their own understanding of what it means to know. Ultimately, it offers valuable insights into the nature and limits of human knowledge, demonstrating the enduring power of critical reflection in the pursuit of truth.
