Explore how knowledge truly fits the world around us and why science is more than a collection of facts.

This concise volume examines the foundations of knowledge and the grounds of scientific inquiry, using objective logic to connect what we think with what exists. It clarifies how ideas become reliable through careful distinctions between object-matters, attributes, and the ways we symbolize reality.

Beginning with Part I, the book explains how truth aligns with real object-matter and how scientific methods arise from our experiences and perceptions. It then surveys the sciences themselves, offering a systematic framework that groups disciplines by their objects, methods, and levels of abstraction. The author compares his views with past classifications and discusses how psychology, chemistry, and other fields fit into a broad, epistemological map.

Discover a clear method for classifying sciences by their object-matter and level of abstraction
Understand the distinction between concrete and abstract sciences, and between cosmological and anthropological foundations
Learn how objective logic unites different fields while respecting their unique methods
See how theories from Spencer and others are reassessed within a unified framework

Ideal for curious readers of philosophy and science who want a grounded, accessible guide to how knowledge relates to reality and how scientific inquiry is structured.
