Theory Of Thought And Knowledge

By Borden Parker Bowne and Bowne Borden Parker

Book Overview

Theory of Thought and Knowledge is a philosophical treatise written by Borden Parker Bowne, an American philosopher and theologian. The book explores the nature of human thought and knowledge, and the relationship between the two. Bowne argues that thought and knowledge are inseparable, and that knowledge is not simply a collection of facts, but is instead a dynamic process that involves the active engagement of the mind. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section examines the nature of thought, including its relationship to language, perception, and emotion. Bowne argues that thought is not simply a passive reflection of reality, but is an active process that involves the interpretation and manipulation of sensory information. The second section of the book explores the nature of knowledge, including its sources, criteria, and limitations. Bowne argues that knowledge is not simply a matter of empirical observation, but is also influenced by our beliefs, values, and assumptions. He also examines the role of intuition and faith in the acquisition of knowledge. The final section of the book examines the relationship between thought and reality. Bowne argues that our thoughts and beliefs are not simply subjective constructs, but are grounded in the objective reality of the world around us. He also explores the nature of truth and the possibility of objective knowledge. Overall, Theory of Thought and Knowledge is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of human thought and knowledge, and provides a valuable contribution to the field of epistemology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
