Inhaltsangabe

""The Theory of Knowledge: A Contribution to Some Problems of Logic and Metaphysics"" is a book written by L.T. Hobhouse that explores the nature of knowledge and its relationship to logic and metaphysics. The book is divided into three parts: the first part focuses on the nature of knowledge itself, the second part examines the relationship between knowledge and logic, and the third part explores the relationship between knowledge and metaphysics. Throughout the book, Hobhouse argues that knowledge is not simply a matter of acquiring information, but is also shaped by our perceptions, beliefs, and values. He also explores the ways in which knowledge is constructed and how it can be tested and revised over time. In the second part of the book, Hobhouse examines the role of logic in shaping our understanding of knowledge. He argues that logic is not simply a set of rules to be followed, but is also shaped by our perceptions and beliefs. In the third part of the book, Hobhouse explores the relationship between knowledge and metaphysics. He argues that metaphysical beliefs can shape our understanding of knowledge, and that our understanding of knowledge can also shape our metaphysical beliefs. Overall, ""The Theory of Knowledge: A Contribution to Some Problems of Logic and Metaphysics"" is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of knowledge and its relationship to logic and metaphysics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, or the nature of knowledge itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (8 September 1864 - 21 June 1929) was a British liberal political theorist and sociologist, who has been considered one of the leading and earliest proponents of social liberalism. His works, culminating in his famous book Liberalism (1911), occupy a seminal position within the canon of New Liberalism. He worked both as an academic and a journalist, and played a key role in the establishment of sociology as an academic discipline; in 1907 he shared, with Edward Westermarck, the distinction of being the first professor of sociology to be appointed in the United Kingdom, at the University of London. He was also the founder and first editor of The Sociological Review. His sister was Emily Hobhouse, the British welfare activist. Hobhouse was born in St Ive, near Liskeard in Cornwall,[1] the son of Reginald Hobhouse, an Anglican clergyman, and Caroline Trelawny. He attended Marlborough College before reading Greats at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first-class degree in 1887. Upon his graduation, Hobhouse remained at Oxford as a prize fellow at Merton College before becoming a full fellow at Corpus Christi.[2] Taking a break from academia between 1897 and 1907, Hobhouse worked as a journalist (including a stint with the Manchester Guardian) and as the secretary of a trade union.[2] In 1907, Hobhouse returned to academia, accepting the newly created chair of sociology at the University of London, titled the Martin White Professor of Sociology, where he remained until his death in 1929.[2] Hobhouse was also an atheist from an early age, despite his father being an Archdeacon.[3] He believed that rational tests could be applied to values and that they could be self-consistent and objective.[3] Hobhouse was never religious. He wrote in 1883 that he was "in politics... a firm radical. In religion... an (if possible yet firmer) agnostic."[4] In terms of his political and philosophical views, Hobhouse was Gladstonian, a devoted follower of the philosopher John Stuart Mill, and an admirer of Morley, Bradlaugh, and Dilke. These influences him to various feminist, democratic, and secularist political stances. He often proposed republican and democratic motions at debating societies while at school
