The central problem of philosophy is the problem of certainty. What
does it mean to be sure? Are there ideas beyond the possibility of
error or refutation? What does it mean for a notion to be
incorrigible? In this book, Frank D. Schubert squarely addresses
the question of whether there is a single standard of certainty
that can be applied to such disparate areas as logic, mathematics,
politics, religion, familial/tribal commitments, and science.
Schubert proposes a common standard for assessing certainty - the
certainty of knowing one's own personal proper name - as a standard
that can establish common ground within each widely disparate area.
The result is a new "philosophy in a grand manner" and a powerful
ethical proposal for our time.
