Cognition: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives on Western Truth and Reality
Abstract
This chapter considers the concepts of truth alongside the art of representation and how mental and linguistic representation of knowledge is what encapsulates truth in practice. At the core of the chapter is the notion that all knowledge is ultimately dependent on understanding. Moving through a consideration of how the sciences were impacted upon by a systemic change in European intellectual infrastructure, discussion surrounds how the Renaissance contributed to the prevailing approach to science that actively shaped rationality and still resonates through todays' traditional approaches to empirical ‘knowing'.
