Perusteoreettinen

Perusteoreettinen refers to a philosophical approach that emphasizes the importance of foundational principles or basic truths in the construction of knowledge. This approach is often associated with rationalism, which posits that reason and logical deduction are the primary sources of knowledge. Perusteoreettinen philosophy seeks to identify and analyze the fundamental principles that underlie all knowledge and reality. It often involves a critical examination of the assumptions and premises that underpin various philosophical theories and arguments. By focusing on the basic truths, perusteoreettinen philosophy aims to provide a solid foundation for more complex philosophical inquiries and to address foundational questions about the nature of reality, knowledge, and ethics. This approach is contrasted with empiricism, which emphasizes the role of sensory experience in the acquisition of knowledge. Perusteoreettinen philosophy has been influential in the development of various philosophical traditions, including rationalism and logical positivism.
