Vance held a Master of Arts degree and a Ph.D before becoming a professor of philosophy in England at the beginning of the 20th century. He wrote the preface to this book in 1917 when he was at Rugeley Camp, Cannock Chase, which was a massive training ground for British soldiers headed to the Western Front of World War II. Finding nothing else about John G. Vance online, I might guess that he died in that war. [From the preface] For many years it has been my great desire to give to my fellow-countrymen, and, if might be, to the English-speaking world, a critical but definite treatment of the foundations of knowledge, truth, and certainty. No problem could conceivably be more insistent or more urgent. Like the piles that are driven deep below the surface of the water, unseen but necessary supports, the theory of knowledge upholds all. Whatever we attempt within the whole vast range of the theoretical or practical sciences, all depends ultimately upon our solution of the problem of knowledge. Thus whether we are interested in theology or natural science, in speculative philosophy or social work, in politics and economics, or art and literature, matters little. When one man sets out to think or two set out to agree upon some idea or plan, they invariably rely upon some accepted view of the limits and possibilities of our knowing powers, and almost invariably they differ. We all have some working theory of knowledge, however ill-defined and inarticulate. And there lies the danger.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Reality and Truth is a philosophical essay written by John Gabriel Vance in 1917. The book explores the concepts of knowledge, certainty, and truth in a critical and constructive manner. Vance argues that reality is not directly accessible to human beings and that our understanding of reality is always mediated by our senses and our mental processes. He also examines the relationship between truth and certainty, arguing that while truth is objective and independent of our beliefs, certainty is always relative and depends on our subjective experiences and perspectives. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and scholars of philosophy. It remains a significant contribution to the field of epistemology and continues to be studied and debated by philosophers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
