The Problem of Knowledge

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Problem of Knowledge is a remarkable work where Cassirer employs his notable gift of lucidity to explain the major ideas and intellectual issues that emerged in the course of nineteenth-century scientific and historical thinking.

The translators have done an excellent job in reproducing his clarity in English. There is no better place for an intelligent reader to discover, with a minimum of technical language, what was truly happening during the great intellectual movement between the age of Newton and our own.
