Kurzinhalt: Wahres Urteil, Lonergan über "illative sense" (Folgerungssinn), Tibet, Vertrauen vs. Zweifel

Textausschnitt: () The illative sense is just such an absolute verification.

Thus we know the truth and know we know it but prove it we cannot.
() ... Tibet ... Such ordinary judgments are rational, and can be certain, but they are not reducible to the rationality of deduction from self-evident principles.
