Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to investigate the question of the origin of ideas and the nature of the criterion of certainty. The author begins by demonstrating that human cognitive faculties derive from an innate and simple idea that constitutes the mind's form and that reason is the outcome of this simple idea. From this starting point, the author then goes on to distinguish between pure knowledge and empirical knowledge and proceeds to demonstrate how the criterion of certainty for each can be found in the idea of being. This leads to a discussion of the origin of errors and to an examination of the arguments and ideas put forward by the sceptics through history. In short, this book represents a complete theory on the origin of ideas and the nature of certainty in human knowledge.
