Synopsis

This book delves into the origins and evolution of the question of knowledge. The author argues that the question itself is not an abstract philosophical pursuit, but has always been rooted in social life, with the sensationalist and rationalist schools representing the tension between radical and conservative forces. The author traces the development of this tension from Socrates to the present day, showing how the problem of knowledge has been central to the development of both science and philosophy. Ultimately, the author argues that the future of philosophy lies in a focus on psychology and social ethics, as we seek to understand the role of the individual in society and the nature of human experience.
