The Nature of God: An Inquiry into Divine Attributes.

Abstract

items whose existence and nature do not depend on minds. Grossmann develops his empiricism and realism by interacting with prominent figures from the history of philosophy. He devotes chapters, for example, to Descartes, Berkeley, Reid, Kant, and Brentano on perception, and to Kant, Bolzano, Mill, and Frege on mathematical knowledge. These historical chapters, typically concise, clear, and illuminating, are followed by systematic chapters on the relevant philosophical issues. The book falls into three main parts: (1) Knowledge of the External World: Perception, (2) Knowledge of Our Minds: Introspection, and (3) Mathematical Knowledge: Perception Again. Each part contributes to a wide-ranging defense of Grossmann's fourth way, a way that goes against the grain of much contemporary epistemology.
