Epistemology

Philosophy is not only the search for the possibility of the truth but it must also provide answers about it. Philosophy, and any other science, make sense only if the human mind is made for the truth. Rosmini’s three volumes are outstanding and solve the problem of epistemology in the most convincing way. The three volumes of A New Essay Concerning the Origin of Ideas deal respectively with the presentation of the problem and the various solutions offered through the centuries, from the times of the Greeks to Rosmini’s own times; with the presentation of his own solution to the problem; and finally with a fierce attack on scepticism and the way we can arrive at certainty in the truth.
