Editor's Notes

  1. An attempt to achieve absolute knowledge (free from all prejudices and assumptions).Through universal doubt, eliminate all assumptions. From this point, reason works its way to reach absolute knowledge.
  2. An attempt to achieve absolute knowledge (free from all prejudices and assumptions).Through universal doubt, eliminate all assumptions. From this point, reason works its way to reach absolute knowledge.
  3. The critique on pyschologism opens the possibility for Gnoseology to better examine our knowledge and to correct errors.
