A landmark of Enlightenment thought, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is accompanied here by two shorter works that shed light on it: A Letter from a Gentleman to His Friend in Edinburgh, Hume's response to those accusing him of atheism, of advocating extreme skepticism, and of undermining the foundations of morality; and his Abstract of A Treatise of Human Nature, which anticipates discussions developed in the Enquiry.

Почему одни и те же факты приводят людей к противоположным выводам? Почему обсуждения не приближают к взаимопониманию?

We live in a world that is not quite "right." The central tenet of statistical inquiry is that Observation = Truth + Error because even the most careful of scientific investigations have always been bedeviled by uncertainty. Our attempts to measure things are plagued with small errors. Our...

What does it mean to know something? Can we have confidence in our knowledge? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. And yet few topics are more basic to human life. We are inquisitive creatures by nature, and the unending quest for truth leads us to raise difficult questions about the quest itself. What are the conditions, sources, and limits of our knowledge? Do our beliefs need to be rationally justified? Can we have certainty? In this primer on epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide readers through this discipline in philosophy.

In Philosophie der Freiheit – Grundzüge einer modernen Weltanschauung (1894) entfaltet Rudolf Steiner seine erkenntnistheoretischen und ethischen Überlegungen zu Individualität, Moral und geistiger Freiheit. Das Werk bildet das philosophische Fundament der Anthroposophie und lädt zu bewusstem, selbstbestimmtem Denken ein. Steiner zeigt, dass wahre Freiheit aus innerer Einsicht und geistiger Aktivität erwächst – nicht als bloße Willkür, sondern als individuelles, verantwortungsvolles Handeln.

Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened.
