Abstract
In conclusion, it seems worthwhile to disentangle, and briefly to set out, the salient features of the argument of this book. They are:-
-
(1)
that knowledge is possible;
-
(2)
that the world is nothing other than what knowledge, actual or potential, is of;
-
(3)
that the world’s capacity to be known entails something about its overall nature and structure;
-
(4)
that the fact that it has such an overall nature and structure is best accounted for on the supposition that it is due to the fiat of some one entity analogous to the human mind; which is roughly what is commonly meant by ‘God’.
