Problems of Life and Mind, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint): The Foundations of a Creed: The Foundations of a Creed (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Exploring how we know what we know—and why belief often lags behind evidence
Delve into a clear, accessible look at how our minds form knowledge from experience. This edition examines why instinct, perception, and habit shape our thinking, and why even strong beliefs can wobble when evidence changes.
The book traces how internal states and external conditions steer our judgments, from moments of hesitation to the pull of convenient explanations. It explains the difference between personal conviction and shared, communicable truth, and why many beliefs depend as much on mood and context as on facts.
- How our organisms and environments determine what we can perceive and think
- The limits of innate ideas and the role of experience in shaping mental forms
- Why sentiment and social context influence belief without guaranteeing universal validity
- How we assess evidence, testimony, and the reliability of our own conclusions
Ideal for readers curious about the foundations of knowledge, perception, and belief, this volume offers practical insight into how science and philosophy intersect in everyday thinking.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to reconcile the conflicting theories of Religion and Science. The author argues that all metaphysical problems, including those that have baffled effort for centuries, can be solved through the reduction of both Religion and Science to common tests. This can be done by applying the same inductive principles used in physical research to metaphysical inquiries. The author claims that this will allow for the uncovering of rational solutions to questions that were previously considered mysteries. Through this, one can gain a deeper understanding of the world and one's place within it, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
