Publisher's Synopsis
The Problem of Knowledge, written by Douglas Clyde Macintosh in 1915, is a philosophical work that explores the nature of knowledge and the ways in which it can be acquired. The book is divided into three main sections: the first section examines the concept of knowledge and its relationship to truth, the second section explores the various ways in which knowledge can be gained, and the third section discusses the limitations of knowledge and the ways in which it can be misused or misunderstood.Throughout the book, Macintosh draws on a variety of philosophical traditions, including empiricism, rationalism, and pragmatism, to develop his arguments. He also engages with other thinkers, such as Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill, to further explore the nature of knowledge and its role in human understanding.The Problem of Knowledge is a complex and nuanced work that will appeal to readers interested in philosophy, epistemology, and the nature of truth. It is a seminal work in the field of epistemology and continues to be widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
