https://doi.org/10.24234/wisdom.v7i2.137Keywords:
human cognition, philosophy, truth, proof, contradiction, paradoxes of epistemology, paradoxes of methodologyAbstract
This paper presents the main paradoxes of the theory of human cognition, namely the paradoxes of epistemology and methodology. Each of paradoxes is given its laconic solution using a more strict definition of relevant concepts. Suggested solutions could be helpful in developing further the complete teaching of human cognition.
