Synopsis

The First Principles of Knowledge is a philosophical treatise written by John Rickaby and published in 1901. The book explores the nature of knowledge and its acquisition, examining the different ways in which we come to know things and the principles that underlie this process. Rickaby draws on a range of philosophical traditions, including Aristotelianism and Thomism, to develop his arguments, and engages with key thinkers such as Descartes and Locke.The book is divided into three main sections. The first section explores the nature of knowledge itself, examining what it means to know something and the different types of knowledge that exist. The second section looks at the different ways in which we acquire knowledge, including through sensation, memory, and reasoning. The final section explores the principles that underlie our knowledge, including the principle of causality and the principle of non-contradiction.Throughout the book, Rickaby engages with a range of philosophical debates and offers his own insights into the nature of knowledge. He argues that knowledge is not simply a matter of having true beliefs, but also involves understanding the reasons and evidence behind those beliefs. He also stresses the importance of rational inquiry and critical thinking in the acquisition of knowledge.Overall, The First Principles of Knowledge is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the nature of knowledge and its acquisition. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in epistemology and the philosophy of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

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.
