Sinopsis
Excerpt from The First Principles of Knowledge
An endeavour has been made throughout these pages, while stating the sound, traditional principles of certitude, to bring them into constant contact with the antagonist principles, more particularly with the principles of Hume and the pure empirics. It is not true that the only possible philosophy is a history of the Opinions which, at various times, have prevailed; but it is true, that the modern spirit will not be satisfied without a statement of how controversies stand on questions which are notoriously disputed. The truth as made manifest in conflict, is what has to be exhibited: and this necessity, whether exactly desirable or not, must stand as explanation or apology to those, whose own special tastes might prompt them to desire a simple exposition of scholastic doctrine apart from the encumbrance of adverse systems. Scholasticism must now be militant, and that, not only with a view to outsiders, but with a View to retaining its own clients, who cannot fail to come across much in modern literature, for the understanding and the consequent rejection of which some direct preparation is needful.

Excerpt from The First Principles of Knowledge
A Few words will be enough to put exactly before the reader the object at which the present volume aims. A well-known criticism on the Aristotelian Logic is the complaint, that it provides for the consistency of thought with thought, but not for the consistency of thought with things; that it secures right processes upon given or assumed materials, but does not guarantee the materials upon which the processes are conducted.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on the nature of knowledge, embarking on a philosophical investigation into how human beings attain certainty. The author begins by defining truth as a form of correspondence between human thought and reality. From here, the author explores the complex relationship between knowledge and ignorance, perception and deception, and the role of belief in shaping our understanding of the world. Underpinning the entire work is an exploration of how knowledge can be acquired, with the author arguing that it is through a combination of intuition, experience, and reason that we ultimately come to know and understand the world around us. Thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the nature of knowledge and the human mind's capacity for understanding.
