Summary:

"In Nicholas of Cusa on the Trinitarian Structure of the Innate Criterion of Truth, Paula Pico Estrada offers an analysis of Nicholas of Cusa's (1401-1464) unitrine conception of the human power of judgment, arguing that the innate criterion that guides human beings to their end is formed by a cognitive, an affective and a social dimension, and that it not only makes possible the systematization and evaluation of the cognitive experience but also enables morality. Based on a close reading of Cusanus' philosophical treatises, the study deepens the understanding of Nicholas of Cusa's epistemology, showing that his anthropological conception closely integrates philosophy and theology"-- Provided by publisher.
