Entry 0209: The Self-Evident Connotation of the Actus Essendi (VII)
Remarks by Douglas B. Rasmussen
Remarks by Douglas B. Rasmussen
"We do not ever really have to wonder whether we are in cognitive contact with reality—that is a given. It should be noted that the Aristotelian approach to this issue does not confine knowledge to strictly that of knowing propositions. I have used the term ‘cognition’ here to indicate an intentional union or contact with reality. This certainly includes but is not confined to the propositional." [1]
