Synopsis
Excerpt from The Intuitive Basis of Knowledge: An Epistemological Inquiry
I yield to the request of my friend Mrs. Duddington that I should write such words of introduction as are needful to the English version of Professor Lossky's work. Yet, in relieving her of that task, I am depriving the reader of what would have been to him far more useful. For she has an intimate acquaintance with the modes of philosophical reflexion that have become prevalent in her native land and could have delineated the intellectual environment in the midst of which her former teachers thought has taken shape and reached its present outlook. I am, however, thus afforded the opportunity of congratulating Mrs. Duddington upon the completion of an arduous and difficult undertaking. This is the first Russian philosophical book that has been translated into English. The translator had, there fore, no precedent to follow in the attempt to give a rendering of the original, which should be as faithful to the sense and as close to the authors mode of expression as was consistent with lucidity and intelligibility. Moreover, Russian philosophical writers of the present day are labouring under a disadvantage similar to that under which the philosophical writers of Germany laboured in Kant's time, - the disadvantage, namely, of having to a large extent to coin their technical terms as they go along.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound and enduring philosophical question of what it means to know. Examining the limitations of individual experience, the author explores how knowledge can act as a bridge, connecting us to a world beyond ourselves. Through a critical analysis of major historical philosophical systems, from the empiricism of Locke and Hume to the rationalism of Descartes and Leibniz, the book unveils hidden assumptions that have hindered our understanding of knowledge. It argues that these traditional approaches have created a false separation between the knowing subject and the known object, leading to skepticism and an impoverished view of reality. Instead, the author proposes a new way of understanding knowledge, one grounded in the direct and immediate presence of the object in consciousness. This "intuitional" theory emphasizes the crucial role of discrimination and comparison in the act of knowing, showing how we move from vague awareness to increasingly complex and differentiated judgments about the world. Ultimately, the book challenges us to reconsider the very nature of truth, universality, and the relationship between the individual and the universal. By bridging the gap between knowledge and existence, it offers a revitalized vision of human understanding and its potential to connect us to the richness and complexity of the real. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
