Essays in Critical Realism (Classic Reprint): A Co-Operative Study of the Problem of Knowledge: A Co-Operative Study of the Problem of Knowledge (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Unpack how memory and perception connect to real things, not just inner images.

This edition guides you through the core ideas that shape critical realism and knowledge.

From the nature of the datum to the debate between epistemological dualism and monism, the text presents a careful critique of representationism and a defense of a universal, non-mental givenness that grounds knowledge. It sheds light on how we distinguish the data of experience from the objects they point to, without slipping into overgeneral theories about mind and world.

• Clarify what memory data are and how they relate to past reality.
• Differentiate the mental vehicle of memory from the object being remembered.
• Explore why a universal "givenness" can ground knowledge without dualism.
• See how error relates to truth in a nuanced, non-skeptical way.

Ideal for readers of philosophy and essays in critical realism seeking a careful, accessible treatment of how we know the world.
