Description
A leading German philosopher presents his most ambitious work yet on the nature of knowledge. Markus Gabriel argues that being wrong about things defines the human condition. For millennia, philosophers have focused on advancing understanding of truth and reality, but they have often overlooked negative epistemological phenomena such as ignorance, falsity, illusion, and delusion. This book offers a new perspective on these issues, proposing a theory of false thought that reveals the inherent subjectivity of our knowledge claims. Gabriel's work addresses long-standing ontological questions in an age where the distinction between reality and fiction is increasingly blurred.
