Publisher's Synopsis
The Adversaries of the Skeptic or The Specious Present: A New Inquiry into Human Knowledge is a book written by Alfred Hodder in 1901. The book explores the concept of human knowledge and challenges the skepticism that exists around it. Hodder argues that humans have the ability to perceive and understand the world around them, but this ability is often hindered by doubt and uncertainty. He examines the different ways in which humans acquire knowledge, including through sensory experience, intuition, and reasoning. He also discusses the role of language in shaping our understanding of the world. Hodder's work is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of human knowledge and the challenges that skeptics present to it. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
