About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the realm of human knowledge, challenging the limitations imposed by Positivism. The author confronts the Positivist school's assertion that the origin and purpose of things lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry. The author argues that the human mind has an innate drive to seek explanations, a drive that has led to the development of various theories of knowledge throughout history. The author examines these theories, from the ancient Greeks to contemporary thinkers, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. By exploring the relationship between knowledge and its origins, this book sheds light on the nature of human understanding and the limits, if any, of our ability to comprehend the world around us.
