Publisher's Synopsis
""The Functional Versus The Representational Theories Of Knowledge In Locke�������s Essay"" by Moore, Addison Webster is a scholarly work that delves into the two main theories of knowledge put forth by philosopher John Locke in his ""Essay Concerning Human Understanding"". The book explores the functional theory, which suggests that knowledge is derived from our ability to perform certain actions or tasks, and the representational theory, which posits that knowledge is gained through the representation of external objects in our minds. Moore examines the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and discusses their implications for understanding the nature of knowledge, perception, and reality. He also explores how these theories have influenced subsequent philosophical thought and how they continue to shape contemporary debates in epistemology. Overall, ""The Functional Versus The Representational Theories Of Knowledge In Locke�������s Essay"" is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of two central theories of knowledge in Western philosophy, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
