‘Philosophical Perspectives’ gives expression to a series of working exercises involving different problems that are entailed by issues such as: hermeneutics, innate ideas, apodicticity (certainty), belief, meaning, model-building, psychology, mythology, mysticism, and logic. The appendix – ‘Mapping Mental Spaces’ – provides an overview of the structural character of the thinking that underlies the various chapters of the book. The object of the aforementioned exercises is not a matter of trying to present a ‘true’ picture of reality, but, rather, the purpose of the exercises is to induce (hopefully) the reader to engage in his, her, or their own process of critical reflection concerning the nature of the issues being explored, using the material in ‘Philosophical Perspectives’ as food for thought.
