Honoured Sir. IS end you this imperfect draught ofyour excellent Effay concerning Human Underfunding; which, I mufr confefs, falls as much fliort of the Perfection, as it does of the length of the original. Neverthelefs, as I lately intimated to you (and you were pleafed to think, that what I propos din reference to this Defign, would not be wholly loft Labour) I am not without Hopes, that it may in this contracted Form, prove in fome Meafure ferviceable to that noble End, which you have fo fuccefsfully aimed at in it, viz. The Advancement of Real and ufeful Kno-xledge. The Inducement which moved me to think of abridging it, was a Confideration purely extrinfical to the Work itfelf; and in effect no other than this; that it would be better fuited to the Eafe and Convenience of fome fort of Readers, when reduced into this narrow Compafs.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of human understanding, exploring the origins, limits, and certainty of our knowledge. The author, a pioneering philosopher, challenges prevailing notions of innate ideas and argues that our knowledge is derived solely from experience and reflection. Through an examination of the mind's processes, including sensation, memory, reasoning, and abstraction, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of how we acquire, organize, and utilize knowledge. It traces the historical development of philosophical thought on these topics, examining the ideas of Plato, Aristotle, and others, and positioning the author's own theories within this broader intellectual landscape. The book's insights have profoundly influenced subsequent philosophical inquiry, shaping our understanding of the human mind and its relationship to the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334025822_0
