Excerpt from Hamilton's Theory of Knowledge
England conscious Of the philosophical relation Of the Scotch to the continental schools. When others were dumb with amaze ment or trepidation in view Of the transcendental schemes Of Teutonic speculation, this intrepid and acute thinker pre sented himself within the lists, and threw down the gauntlet against all comers - to vindicate, on philosophical grounds, the philosophy of common sense in face Of the proud pretensions Of the philosophy Of the absolute. His name and fame, in the annals Of philosophy, are identified With this work. Besides this, as a teacher Of philosophy in the University Of Edi burgh, he revived the study Of logic and metaphysics at a time when logic was neglected and metaphysics every where spoken against; and he created an' enthusiastic school, which has able advocates in England and America, as well as In Scotland. His system has now become a part Of the history Of philosophy and it deserves to be studied, not only because he was one Of the most vigorous Of thinkers, but because his speculations bear upon the relation between the Scotch and the German schools, and enter. Into the very heart Of the contro versy between philosophy and faith.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the limits of human knowledge and understanding, particularly regarding fundamental concepts such as the infinite, the absolute, and causality. The author, a renowned philosopher, argues that our minds are fundamentally incapable of fully comprehending these concepts, which he sees as negative or inconceivable. Instead, he proposes that our belief in their existence arises from a psychological response to our cognitive limitations. Through a mingling of psychological and logical arguments, the author attempts to reconcile the apparent contradiction between the limitations of reason and the existence of these fundamental truths. The book delves into the history of philosophy, challenging traditional views and offering new insights into the nature of knowledge and belief. Its analysis of the relationship between reason and faith has had a significant impact on philosophical thought.
