Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book examines the epistemological foundations of metaphysics and psychology. It begins by considering the history of philosophical inquiry, arguing that the author has adopted a 'critical' approach, based on the premise that all cognition should be subject to critique. The author believes that the field of 'theory of knowledge' comprises the endeavor to identify an appropriate framework from which to approach all philosophical inquiry and that such a framework can only be established through a critique of human cognition, metaphysics, and psychology. The book goes on to argue that any analysis of the nature of cognition must begin with an examination of its function. The author draws a distinction between 'thinking' and 'cognition', arguing that only the latter involves objective truth claims. This distinction forms the basis for the author's belief that a theory of knowledge must involve the examination and critique of the cognitive process itself. Overall, this book offers an important contribution to the fields of epistemology and philosophy of mind, providing readers with a structured methodological framework for understanding the relationship between thought, knowledge, and reality.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that all scientific disciplines must be grounded in experiential fact, and philosophy is no exception. The author, a noted philosopher, traces a logical progression from the errors of ancient philosophy, through the period of Enlightenment, to the present day. The author builds a case that the application of the scientific method to philosophy is both necessary for its continued relevance, and also for the correction of flawed or biased thought in all its forms. Grounded in the analytical traditions of Kant and Hegel, but extensively updated for the present day, this book presents a clearly argued case for the importance of grounding philosophical inquiry in demonstrable scientific fact.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of philosophical investigation beginning with its primitive forms through the major players, including Plato and Aristotle, who shaped its course. Surveying the history of philosophy is a means to approach the fundamental questions of philosophy itself: the nature of knowledge, being, becoming, and purpose. The author argues that the historical record of philosophical investigation provides compelling evidence for skepticism about philosophyâs capacity to resolve its perennial questions. The approach here is critical and skeptical, providing a corrective to the assumption that objective and universal knowledge about foundational questions is attainable.
