An Essay in Refutation of Agnosticism: And the Philosophy of the Unknowable; A Review With an Analogy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Challenging the Unknown: a thorough critique of the philosophy of the Unknowable
In this critical examination, the author argues against agnosticism and the idea that much remains beyond human understanding. Through a pointed analogy of a blind mind confronting light, the work questions whether conceivability should be the sole ground for certitude.
The text frames a concrete debate about how we justify knowledge of ultimate truths. It challenges readers to consider whether a “sound philosophical principle” can admit exceptions and whether reliance on such principles can lead to error or nescience. The discussion uses recognizable examples from philosophy and science to test the limits of our beliefs and the claims of the unknowable.- Explore how the author aligns or disputes famous arguments about knowledge, including critiques of major thought leaders.
- See a detailed analogy comparing the limitations of perception to the challenges in grasping the Infinite or Absolute.
- Learn the author’s approach to defending the value of partial knowledge while cautioning against dismissing what can be known.
- Understand the proposed standard for evaluating philosophical claims, and what it means for everyday belief and conduct.

An Essay in Refutation of Agnosticism: And the Philosophy of the Unknowable
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the contemporary fascination with agnosticism, a school of thought which holds that God and the spiritual realm are unknowable. The author argues that this view is based on a flawed premise: many things in life are accepted as real despite the limits of our perception. Through accessible language and logical deduction, this book argues that agnostics can and should extend their views to encompass all of existence, both the seen and the unseen. The arguments herein show the philosophical fragility of agnosticism and will provoke thought in believers and non-believers alike.
