The essence of human head work. New criticism of pure and practical mind. Ditzgen I.

The reader proposes the first philosophical work of Joseph Ditsgen (1828-1888)-a German philosopher, who, being a tanner by profession, acquired a huge erudition and came to a dialectical method in philosophy. The book is devoted to the fundamental problems of the theory of knowledge, the analysis of the mental ability of a person. The author considers the mental ability as the ability to extract the general from the private, and in the difference between the private and the general, he sees the general genus of differences between the body and spirit, phenomenon and essence, content and form, substance and strength. Such an understanding of the main philosophical categories in combination with the dialectical method allow the author to reconcile the opposite between materialism and idealism. The book includes an outline of the life of a philosopher, belonging to the pen of his son E. Ditsgen and an introductory article, written by the famous modern psychologist I. V. Zhuravlev.

for philosophers, psychologists, humanitarian students, as well as everyone who is interested in the theory of knowledge and the history of philosophical thought.
