The Roots of Sound Rational Thinking is a full length text concerning epistemology, the foundations of logic and other elemental theories. This work is twenty years in the making and, if printed as a bound volume, it would have over a thousand pages (not including the extensive bibliography and notes.)
Please bookmark the page...it will take several sessions to read the work. If you like what you see, please add links to this site so others will find it.
The work is long. To get a flavor of the work, I have added several short essays.
Definitions
Philosophers have an unfortunate history of changing the meaning of terms. The author has spent a great deal of effort in chosing terms and trying to maintain a consistent use of terminology throughout the work. You might want to read the section on terminology before delving into the work. This article will highlight many of the important terms.
