The Ways of Knowing Or The Methods of Philosophy
About this book
The Ways of Knowing by William Pepperell Montague is a rigorous yet readable exploration of epistemology — the branch of philosophy concerned with how we know what we know. Montague categorizes different modes of knowing: perception, memory, introspection, reasoning, and intuition, carefully examining their strengths and limitations. He also grapples with the problem of skepticism, the role of language, and the boundary between empirical and a priori knowledge. With clear prose and analytic depth, Montague engages both philosophical tradition and modern challenges to human understanding. This book remains a valuable introduction to epistemological inquiry for students and anyone curious about the nature of knowledge.
