Synopsis

The Intuitive Basis of Knowledge: An Epistemological Inquiry (1919) is a philosophical book written by N. O. Lossky. The book explores the fundamental question of how humans acquire knowledge and the role of intuition in the process. Lossky argues that intuition is the foundation of all knowledge, and that it is a direct and immediate apprehension of reality that cannot be reduced to logical or empirical analysis. He also examines the limitations of rationalism and empiricism, and proposes a new epistemological framework that integrates intuition, reason, and experience. The book is divided into three parts: the first part introduces the concept of intuition and its relation to knowledge; the second part discusses the limitations of rationalism and empiricism; and the third part presents Lossky's new epistemological framework. The Intuitive Basis of Knowledge is a seminal work in epistemology and a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of knowledge and the limits of human understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Excerpt from The Intuitive Basis of Knowledge: An Epistemological Inquiry

I yield to the request of my friend Mrs. Duddington that I should write such words of introduction as are needful to the English version of Professor Lossky's work. Yet, in relieving her of that task, I am depriving the reader of what would have been to him far more useful. For she has an intimate acquaintance with the modes of philosophical reflexion that have become prevalent in her native land and could have delineated the intellectual environment in the midst of which her former teachers thought has taken shape and reached its present outlook. I am, however, thus afforded the opportunity of congratulating Mrs. Duddington upon the completion of an arduous and difficult undertaking. This is the first Russian philosophical book that has been translated into English. The translator had, there fore, no precedent to follow in the attempt to give a rendering of the original, which should be as faithful to the sense and as close to the authors mode of expression as was consistent with lucidity and intelligibility. Moreover, Russian philosophical writers of the present day are labouring under a disadvantage similar to that under which the philosophical writers of Germany laboured in Kant's time, - the disadvantage, namely, of having to a large extent to coin their technical terms as they go along.
