Excerpt from Theory of Thought and Knowledge
This aim, however, is only an ideal which is very im perfectly realized. Philosophy is militant, not triumphant. As it has required the labor of many generations to bring the system of thought to its present development, so it will require the labor of many more to bring that system to anything like completion. Meanwhile only general outlines and partial views are possible. These, however, may be valuable, if they begin with admitted facts and make good their claims as they' go along.
Philosophic theories fall into two great classes, theories of knowing and theories of being. This results from the nature of the case. The theory of being is the ultimate aim of philosophy, but that theory cannot be completed without a theory of knowing. A philosophic system is determined and characterized by its position on these two points.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental nature of thought and its relationship to knowledge. The author challenges traditional views, particularly those of sensationalism, which posit that thought is merely a passive reflection of sensory impressions. Instead, they advocate for a more active and constructive role for the mind in shaping our understanding of the world. By exploring the essential conditions of thought - the unity of the self, the law of identity and contradiction, and the interconnectedness of objects - the book reveals how our minds shape and make sense of experience. The author, engaging with the historical debates surrounding theories of knowledge, argues for a more nuanced approach, one that recognizes both the subjective and objective elements at play. Ultimately, this book invites readers to look beyond the superficial interpretations of reality and to grapple with the deeper questions of how we think, what we know, and what it means to truly understand the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
