Abstract

Equidistant from the analysts and the existentialists, the author attempts to analyze the nature of knowledge in the light of science, art, and morality. Mercier differentiates between "judicial" and "essential" or "mystical" knowledge, both being genuine apprehensions of truth. The greater part of the study is concerned with the former which is discussed in its "discursive," "idealistic," "pragmatic," and "formal" aspects.--K. H.
