Knowledge, belief and certitude

ABSTRACT MR. STORRS TURNER distinguishes knowledge from consciousness as interpretation from datum. He alleges as base of the former three certitudes, as to self, other selves and real


things. He finds the sciences to involve the same pre-conditions and to take a permissibly abstract point of view—that of a fictitious independent spectator. But he holds that, therefore,


the sciences are not adequate to concrete reality, while the pretension of science in general to present the whole is vain. In psychology the standpoint of the ideal spectator is


inadmissible, and philosophy has failed because of the same abstraction. But among concrete ends we find our conviction as to some certain knowledge satisfied. Real knowledge belongs to the


teleological sphere. _Knowledge, Belief and Certitude_. By F. Storrs Turner. Pp. viii + 484. (London: Swan Sonnenschein and Co., Ltd., 1900.) Price 7_s_. 6_d_. net. ARTICLE PDF Authors * H.
