By George Trumbull Ladd

Book Overview

Philosophy of Knowledge: An Inquiry into the Nature, Limits, and Validity of Human Cognitive Faculty is a comprehensive exploration of the human mind's capacity to acquire knowledge. Written by George Trumbull Ladd, a prominent American philosopher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book examines the nature of knowledge and the limits of human understanding. The book delves into the philosophical concepts of epistemology, ontology, and metaphysics. It explores the different theories of knowledge, including empiricism, rationalism, and skepticism, and examines their strengths and weaknesses. Ladd also discusses the role of perception, reason, and intuition in the acquisition of knowledge.One of the central themes of the book is the validity of human cognitive faculty. Ladd argues that while human beings have the capacity to acquire knowledge, this capacity is limited by the inherent biases and limitations of the human mind. He also explores the relationship between knowledge and truth, and the ways in which our beliefs and perceptions can be influenced by social and cultural factors.Overall, Philosophy of Knowledge is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of knowledge and the limits of human understanding. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, and the nature of human cognition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
