The book aims to address the foundational aspects of knowledge and certitude, engaging with both traditional principles and modern philosophical challenges.Rickaby’s work is noted for its clear and insightful exposition of Aristotelian logic and its application to contemporary debates. He contrasts the principles of certitude with those of empiricism, particularly the ideas of David Hume. The book is structured to not only present the traditional scholastic doctrines but also to actively engage with and refute opposing viewpoints, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the philosophical underpinnings of knowledge. Readers have praised the book for its thoroughness and clarity, making complex philosophical concepts accessible. It’s particularly appreciated by those with an interest in the intersection of faith and reason, as Rickaby defends the dignity of faith while supporting the higher knowledge attained through reason.
