Apprehension and argument : ancient theories of starting points for knowledge
Tuominen, Miira 2006 Studies in the history of philosophy of mind ( Serie ) Dordrecht : Springer Englisch 1402050429 | 6508382 AbstractThis book offers the first synoptic study of how the primary elements in knowledge structures were analysed in antiquity from Plato to late ancient commentaries. It argues that, in the Platonic-Aristotelian tradition, the question of starting points was treated from two distinct points of view: as a question of how we acquire basic knowledge; and as a question of the premises we may immediately accept in the line of argumentation.
