Abstract

Bošković's theory of knowledge is similar to Kant's in that it denies the reality of not only the secondary. but also of the so-called primary properties of bodies. Somewhat also in that it holds that matter itself (in its essence) is transcendent, beyond our mind's grasp - like Kant's Ding an sich. Bošković's theory of knowledge is different from Kant's in that it accepts the reality of space and time as real (not ideal) modes of matter existence. As to the problem of truth, it is evident that Bošković rejects the very possibility of the truth of ideas (veritas repraesentationis) and that he implicite accepts the possibility of truth of our judgments (veritas judicii).
