In these later works Santayana enhanced his stature as a philosopher by achieving greater theoretical precision, depth, and coherence. \u003cem\u003eScepticism and Animal Faith\u003c\/em\u003e conveys better than any other volume the essential import of his philosophy. It formulates his theory of immediately apprehended essences and describes the role played by \"animal faith\" in various forms of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no first principle of criticism -- Dogma and doubt -- Wayward scepticism -- Doubts about self-consciousness -- Doubts about change -- Ultimate scepticism -- Nothing given exists -- Some authorities for this conclusion -- The discovery of essence -- Some uses of this discovery -- The watershed of criticism -- Identity and duration attributed to essences -- Belief in demonstration -- Essence and intuition -- Belief in experience -- Belief in the self -- The cognitive claims of memory -- Knowledge is faith mediated by symbols -- Belief in substance -- On some objections to belief in substance -- Sublimations of animal faith -- Belief in nature -- Evidences of animation in nature -- Literary psychology -- The implied being of truth -- Discernment of spirit -- Comparison with other criticisms of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52626854019379,"sku":"9781684223725","price":29.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SDBtcVdWN0pWMU0yYmFhVDlxSFdzdz09.webp?v=1762081013","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/scepticism-and-animal-faith-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
