Die Frage nach dem Wesen und Wert menschlicher Erkenntnis ist so alt wie die Philosophie selbst. In diesem Band erortern in zwanzig Beitragen namhafte Philosophen und Theologen aus dem In-und Ausland Fragen der Erkenntnistheorie in systematischer wie philosophiehistorischer Perspektive. Zum einen stehen dabei Grundfragen der Erkenntnistheorie im Blickfeld, wie etwa der grundsatzlichen Frage nach Wahrheit und Methode, Erinnerungsvermogen oder dem der Evidenz. Zum anderen erortert ein zweiter Themenkreis spezielle Themen wie dem der Wesenserkenntnis, Analogie und Personalitat. Ein dritter Kreis umfasst (...) Fragen nach der Existenz der Welt und der Bedeutung des Realismus fur die Ethik. Dem anschliessend befassen sich weitere Beitrage mit der Religionsphilosophie, insbesondere der Bedeutung naturlicher Gotteserkenntnis und dem Begriff des Wunders. Zu guter Letzt geht ein letzter Themenkreis auf spezifisch theologische Probleme der Erkenntnislehre ein, die sich in der katholischen Tradition ergeben, wie etwa dem Verhaltnis des Philosophen zu Christus, oder dem Vorherwissen Gottes.
