Truth mapped, measured, and tested across the major branches of thought.

This edition gathers lectures that trace how the mind discovers truth—from mathematics and physics to metaphysics, facts, and history—showing the methods, limits, and links between our faculties and the world we observe.

Presented as a focused, accessible treatise on logic and knowledge, the work blends historical critique with a practical view of how truth is formed, tested, and validated. The discussions illuminate how evidence, perception, and reasoning interact to produce reliable conclusions in science, philosophy, and theology.

Foundations of truth: how the intellect, will, and imagination shape understanding
How mathematical, physical, and metaphysical reasoning differ and connect
The role of induction, syllogism, and analogy in arriving at knowledge
Historical and methodological critique of scholastic logic and the rise of experimental inquiry

Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historical perspective on logic, science, and the quest for truth.
