Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book explores the foundations of knowledge, particularly focusing on how we come to know facts and values. The author challenges the traditional empiricist view, arguing that our knowledge is not simply a collection of sensory experiences but rather a complex process of understanding and interpreting the world. Drawing inspiration from the everyday use of language, the book emphasizes the intentional nature of our knowledge, meaning that our experiences and perceptions are always directed towards something beyond ourselves. This perspective, the author contends, is essential for understanding the nature of knowledge and how we navigate the world of facts and values. The book offers a fresh perspective on a timeless philosophical debate, ultimately providing a compelling framework for understanding how we acquire and process knowledge about the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Our Knowledge of Fact and Value

In trying to indicate something of Hall's over-all posi tion which will be helpful in understanding the work before us, perhaps I should concentrate on his conception of philosophy and its method, for it is on this point that he felt that he was most misunderstood in What Is Value? He had a very clear conception of what philosophy is about. This was a matter to which he devoted a great deal of thought. He wrote on it in three different stages of his philosophical development. His essay, Metaphysics, in Twentieth Century Philosophy,3 was written in his pre analytic period. His treatment of the problem in A Cate gorial Analysis of Value,4 in The 'proof' of Utility in Bentham and Mill5 and in the last chapter of What Is Value? Was in what may be called his middle period. He then employed a kind of ideal language method of formal linguistic analysis similar in some ways to that of the early Wittgenstem. His lecture on What Is It a Philosopher Philosophical Systems and the first chapter of the present book constitute his more mature and most extensive discussion of the matter. During this last period he leaned more toward informal linguistic analysis, but he did not feel that he had given up anything essential to the style of What Is Value?
