Wilhelmsen F.D.- Mans knowledge of reality

Wilhelmsen F.D.- Mans knowledge of reality -

Excellent book on the subject of epistemology. Willhelmsen writes well and has outlined his book very well. This is helpful if you are using this for a research paper, or if you just want a reference on your shelf regarding a unique epistemological tradition. In terms of his theory, I think that it is correct. However, many will get bogged down in some of the terminology (i.e. phantasm) and may potentially struggle to understand the "Act of Knowing"—i.e. the act that he is attempting to demonstrate. It is one of the tragedies that philosophy appears to be only concerned with solving riddles, rather than describing reality as it is, and Wilhelsmen provides an entertaining, and introductory account of a Thomistic epistemology. Regardless of your philosophical predisposition, this is definitely worth your time and effort— and it will take effort; do not assume that just because you don't know what a term means that you have dismissed the theory. One must grasp the propositions accurately before he can determine their meaning and accuracy. If read Wilhelmsen and you find his demonstration convincing, you will have the privilege of exploring a philosophical tradition that is concerned with truth and realty, rather than belief and coherence; if you do not find his ideas convincing, you will at least have done your due diligence and explored a tradition outside your own. ! Uwagi: Oprawa zarysowana, wytarta i zakurzona. Strony są pożółkłe. Brzegi stron są lekko zabrudzone. W książce zapiski ołówkiem, naklejka.
