Publisher's Synopsis
An Essay On The Foundations Of Our Knowledge is a philosophical work written by French mathematician and philosopher Antoine Augustin Cournot. The book explores the nature of knowledge and how we acquire it, examining the fundamental principles that underlie our understanding of the world. Cournot argues that knowledge is not simply a matter of sensory perception, but is also shaped by our innate cognitive abilities and the way in which we interpret and organize information. He considers the role of language, logic, and mathematics in the acquisition of knowledge, and explores the relationship between empirical observation and theoretical reasoning. The book is a rigorous and thought-provoking exploration of epistemology, and remains an influential work in the field of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
