Instinct And Reason

Instinct and Reason: Or The First Principles of Human Knowledge is a philosophical treatise written by George Ramsay and first published in 1862. The book explores the relationship between instinct and reason in human knowledge and argues that these two faculties are complementary rather than opposed. Ramsay draws on a range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his argument, including the work of John Locke, David Hume, and Charles Darwin. He also discusses the role of intuition, perception, and language in the acquisition of knowledge, and examines the limits of human understanding. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers. It remains an important work in the history of philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
