"Ex analogia hominis"

Theorie der Erkenntnis und des Wissens

Hans Jörg Sandkühler

pp. 70-84

Abstract

„In the history of philosophy scepticism has very often been simply the counterpart of a resolute humanism. By the denial and destruction of the objective certainty of the external world the sceptic hopes to throw all the thoughs of man back upon his own being. Self-knowledge — he declares — is the first prerequisite of self-realization. We must try to break the chain connecting us with the outer world in order to enjoy our true freedom.“1
