Inhaltsangabe

This book explores fundamental problems in philosophy, grappling with concepts of sensation, memory, cognition, knowledge, truth, monism, and more. The author contends that all knowledge is rooted in sensation and that memory is the physiological condition of knowledge. Cognition is the act of recognizing a unity or sameness in two or more phenomena. Knowledge is the formulated stock of experiences in which we have discovered common features. Monism is the view that all of reality is one undivided and indivisible whole. The author argues that monism is the natural outcome of the human mind's disposition to seek unity and that it is justified by the character of our actual experiences. The book concludes by examining the origin of a priori knowledge, arguing that it is derived from the formal properties of reality that we abstract through thinking.

Excerpt from Fundamental Problems: The Method of Philosophy as a Systematic Arrangement of Knowledge

We know of no decline of any nation on earth unless it was preceded by an intellectual and moral rottenness, which took the shape of some negative creed or skepticism, teaching the maxim that man lives for the pleasure of living, and that the purpose of our life is merely to enjoy ourselves.
