Spanish Philosophy, Metaphysics, Juan José UrráburuAbstract
The text, authored by the Spanish philosopher Juan José Urráburu, discusses the nature of logical falsity and its opposition to truth, situated within the context of Scholastic philosophy. Falsity is defined as a disconformity between cognition and the object, which can be negative (ignorance, when cognition is incomplete) or positive (error, when there is inadequacy, such as representing a man as a donkey). The opposition between truth and falsity is considered contrary, not contradictory, as both are positive extremes. The central issues fall within the fields of epistemology and logic.
