Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of thinking and how we come to know and believe things. The author explores the process of judgment, examining its relationship to belief, acceptance, and the formation of meaning. Taking a historical perspective, the book challenges traditional views of logic, particularly the "predication theory" which argues that every judgment involves asserting one term as a predicate of another. Instead, the author proposes a more nuanced understanding of judgment as a multifaceted act of acknowledgment, encompassing both the content of a thought and the underlying presuppositions that shape our understanding. Through a detailed analysis of the author's own "genetic theory of thought," the book unravels the complexities of how we navigate different spheres of meaning, including the realm of reality, personal experience, and the process of constructing logical arguments. The author introduces a unique set of terms to articulate the intricate interplay between presupposition, assumption, and belief, ultimately providing a fresh perspective on the origins and evolution of our cognitive processes. This book offers a unique and insightful exploration of the workings of the human mind, revealing the intricate mechanisms that underpin our ability to think, reason, and form beliefs.
