Excerpt from Recognition of Reason
For myself, I am not quite convinced by Mr. Pols, though this may be for temperamental reasons. The method which persistently aims at the midpoint, though it is excellent at hitting this bullseye, does' not give an account of the rest of the circles on the target. What Pols is interested in is that moment in thinking when subject, object, and their appropri ate symbols are gathered like the scattered leaves of the uni verse into one volume, and distinction of thought, being, and language is done away with. I agree with the description that he gives of this, but I should also like to know what takes place when this intellectual fusion - to the unconvinced it might seem a kind of articulated rapture - does not come forth: there are the hours when we are lazy, unconstructive, when our minds give over and we are passive to sensation; or when we are imperceptive, and even our senses flounder. And there are also the minutes when like the Stranger from Elea or like Hegel we are splitting categories less substantial than hairs. Perhaps this is an unconstructive use of reason, but it is one to be taken into epistemological account.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration into the nature of philosophy itself. Questioning whether philosophy is a credible way of knowing that can aspire to wisdom, the author suggests a 'new beginning' for the field, arguing that we have not yet fully understood its role. The author proposes that philosophy is a form of experiential knowledge that is both subjective and objective, and that it is through this unique perspective that we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The book delves into the historical and intellectual context of philosophy, examining the evolution of ideas and the debates that have shaped the discipline. It also explores the relationship between philosophy and other fields of knowledge, such as science and religion. Ultimately, the author argues that philosophy is a powerful tool for understanding the human condition and for guiding us towards a more meaningful existence.
