Essays Towards A Theory Of Knowledge (1915)

Essays Towards A Theory Of Knowledge is a philosophical work written by Alexander Philip and published in 1915. The book explores the nature of knowledge and the methods used to acquire it. Philip presents a critical analysis of the various theories of knowledge that were prevalent at the time and proposes his own ideas on the subject. The book is divided into several essays, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of knowledge. Philip begins by examining the nature of perception and the role it plays in acquiring knowledge. He then moves on to discuss the relationship between knowledge and reality, arguing that our understanding of reality is limited by our perceptions and the limitations of our senses. Philip also explores the idea of intuition and its role in knowledge acquisition. He argues that intuition is a valid source of knowledge, but that it must be supplemented by reason and empirical evidence. Throughout the book, Philip engages with the work of other philosophers, including Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill. He also draws on examples from science and mathematics to illustrate his points. Overall, Essays Towards A Theory Of Knowledge is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider the nature of knowledge and how it is acquired. It remains a valuable contribution to the field of epistemology and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
