Inhaltsangabe
Explore the nature of truth and the mind's certainty in this rigorous study of how we know.
This volume surveys the idea of being as the foundation of knowledge, investigates what we mean by truth in many senses, and explains how our first principles of reason shape all other beliefs. It also looks at how people persuade themselves of truth or error, from innate ideas to the influence of authority and language.
- Learn how intellectual evidence is defined as the necessary insight that compels belief in first principles.
- See how deduction and proof work for both self-evident and derived propositions.
- Understand the distinction between inner certainty and external persuasion, including common sources of error.
- Discover how the author analyzes the causes of error and the safeguards that can guard judgment.
This edition is suitable for those seeking a thoughtful, historical approach to the origins of ideas and the logic behind our beliefs.

The Origin of Ideas, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
