Espectacular síntesis del estudio del conocimiento humano desde una perspectiva realista. Es un gran acercamiento muy profundo para entender cómo conocemos, los grados de conocimiento y las diferentes posturas ante el conocimiento humano. Hace muy buenas observaciones en contra de las posturas relativistas y escépticas desde Ockham, Descartes, Kant y las corrientes filosóficas que se derivan de ello. Después de haberlo leído confirmo mi adhesión a la postura realista ante la realidad y que sólo con ella es posible existir de manera adecuada en el mundo y la primacía de aceptar esto para poder conocer y desarrollarnos.

Excellent overview into Thomistic Epistemology; comparing it to other epistemologies while also refuting skepticism. Not too long only 140 small pages. Certain chapters were dense, but probably the right concise length and depth. And the book got easier once I got my groove. An impressive thing to get right. Because of this, despite being concise and objective and impersonal, the author sounds to me like a really good honest guy. I will personally note though: I don’t like reading about epistemology: thinking about thinking puts me very much into active self-consciousness and consciously slows my reading speed significantly—which feels like torture even if it is not.

I read a bootleg English translation of this book that appears to be out of print as of now, and the publisher has also apparently gone silent about any reprint. This is incredibly unfortunate, because this is a great introduction to the metaphysics of being and Thomistic gnoseological thought in general.

5/5, worth a read if you can find an English copy (for the English readers)
