When examining the terms and data of our general inquiry in the opening chapter, we distinguished (8) be tween knowledge proper and mere consciousness ;between reflex consciousness and the implicit, concomitant awareness which the conscious subject necessarily has of itself in all its conscious states or activities, without which these could not be conscious, and which is usually described as direct consciousness ;between non-cognitive (volitional, emotional, etc.) and cognitive consciousness ;between the interpretative objectivity of those cognitive states of consciousness which frll short of judgment, and the formal or consciously asserted objectivity of the judgment itself. We have also been obliged, in our exposition of the doctrines of Descartes, Kant andS cholasticism (77), to discuss at some length the nature and validity of our awareness of the self as a concrete, existing, individual reality. Presupposing what has been said already in those connexions we may be brief in our present exposition of the cognitive value or significance of the facts of consciousness and memory, an exposition which will serve as a necessary and natural transition from intellectual knowledge to sense knowledge. The psychological distinction between intellectual conscious ness, whereby we are aware of our intellectual activities such as thought and volition, and sense consciousness, whereby we are aware of our external sense functions and the states and conditions of our bodies, is not itself a datum of consciousness, but an inference arising from introspection and based on the VOL. II.

Coffey Keeps You (Epistemologically) Awake

May 23, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In Volume Two of Peter Coffey's Epistemology the author sets out to validate the objectivity of sense perception. Involved in this task Coffey also provides an overview regarding the objectivity and subjectivity of (the famous distinction between) primary and secondary qualities. Coffey also sets a firm foundation for the definition of truth and exactly what criterion we can utilize to label a judgement as true. In setting this foundation Coffey surveys and refutes anti-intellectual theories such as Pragmatism, Voluntarism and Fideism etc.

Overall I very highly recommend Coffey's two volume tome on epistemology. It is a fantastic introduction and makes a compelling and persuasive case for an objectivist epistemology- that an objective external reality exists and that we can come into true knowledge of it-in the form of Scholasticism. If anyone is puzzled by the arguments brought forth by skepticism, subjectivism, empiricism et al., then Coffey's tome is a very good book that dispels such incoherent epistemologies. In fact, there is so much depth in these two volumes that I definitely plan to read it many more times in the future. Interested in epistemology? Then read these books-even if you don't agree with them.
