A study of the major philosophical theories of knowledge from Plato to Husserl intending to show the pivotal role of Descartes and the influence of his unjustified assumption of mental reality for ideas. On the basis of this study, the book suggests the need to return to the pre-Cartesian cognitive realism of the Greeks and Medievals.
Industry Reviews
Doig writes with clarity and verve. Steeped in the history of philosophy, he is able to trace to their origins many of the trendy strands of contemporary thought.--Jude P. Dougherty, The Catholic University of America
