Présentation de l'éditeur
Wisdom (sapientia) means relishable knowledge in our case, that knowledge which gives the highest and fullest natural satisfaction to the human mind. Now the human mind, by its very nature, thirsts after knowledge knowledge not of a few things or a few classes of things, but of all things, of all classes of things. Nor is it satisfied with any. sort of information about its far-reaching subject-matter; it seeks to know the ultimate causes and reasons of things what they are, whence they are, why they are, etc. Nor yet again is it satisfied with any obscure or doubtful iew; it wants dear, certain, evident knowledge. Hence wisdom or philosophy, the object of the philosophers quest, is defined clear, certain, evident knowledge of the ultimate reasons and causes, internal and external, of things, as far as this can be reached by the natural powers of the human mind. The formal object, then, of philosophy, or that which, for its own sake, it investigates, are absolutely ultimate reasons and causes, as far as these are knowable with certainty and evidence by mans natural reason. As its material object or that in which it seeks its formal object, it embraces all things, all Being. Note. Superncvtural knowledge is that which is had through revelation. Natural knowledge is acquired by the unaided natural faculties. Knowledge of the mere existence I nr ftji .

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
