What reading level is Hamiltons Theory of Knowledge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The doctrine of relative knowledge then means, that we do not know any thing as objectively real, but simply as having a subjective validity and worth. But Hamilton's doctrine of perception, that we are immediately cognizant of the objective, is, it seems to us, opposed to this. And the true theory of knowledge is also opposed to it. To be sure, we know only through and by our faculties ; but may not our faculties be such as to give us a direct, an immediate knowledge of objec- tive reality w...hether material or spiritual 2 The medium is transparent. This is the case with all intuitions. In all real knowledge the object determines the subject, as much as the subject the object. The mind can know what is entirely differ- ent from itself; and this Hamilton himself concedes, when argu- ing about perception. (Metaphysics, p. 351, 401, seq. ) The position, " that whatever we know is not known as it is, but only as it seems to us to be, " also resolves, in its very statement, all knowledge into an illusion, and a conscious illusion to boot.
