Zimmerman’s Noetics

0191012
Project Director dr. sc. Dario Škarica

Summary:
This project takes both an historical and a comparative approach to Zimmerman’s concept of knowledge. That is, Zimmerman’s epistemology will be considered both in its relationship to Neoscholastic philosophy as a whole and the role it apportions to noetics and metaphysics, and in comparison with the problem of knowledge as dealt with in other, much different philosophies, like that of Brentano, Wittgenstein and Ayer. The basis for such a comparison is provided by certain common themes shared by the philosophers in question, such as the opposition of truth and appearance, and the position of skepticism and objectivism, realism and metaphysics regarding it.
