Description
Dietrich von Hildebrand's What Is Philosophy? is a foundational study in epistemology that explores the nature of knowledge and reality. Hildebrand examines the receptivity of all kinds of knowledge, arguing that the mind does not impose its terms on the object known, but rather receives it on its own terms. He distinguishes between aspects of the physical world that are dependent on human perception, such as color qualities, and those that exist independently. This work presents a unique account of our knowledge of essential structures and laws of being, which Hildebrand believes is grounded in rational insight into what things essentially are and are not.
