To step out repeatedly in search of knowledge - epistemology of Nicholas of Cusa
Nemec, Šimon ; Žemla, Martin (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to examine of the consistency gnoseological thought of Nicholas of Cusa in De docta ignorantia. On the basis of a contemporary critique by Johannes Wenck of Herrenberg, we will open up some seeming shortcomings of the text, which we shall answer with the help of Nicholas' texts from the first period of his work. We will show the relation of the method of scientific ignorance to the possibility of knowing and will reconstruct the hierarchy of cognitive capacities that serve us in our search for knowledge. Using such a reconstruction, we will elaborate the polemic between Wenck and Nicholas, showing the consistency or inconsistency of Nicholas gnoseological thinking.
