| Summary | "El Criterio" by Jaime Luciano Balmes is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work focuses on the nature of truth, the importance of sound reasoning, and the process of thinking well to achieve a deeper understanding of reality. Balmes emphasizes the pursuit of truth as a crucial endeavor, not just for philosophers, but for people engaged in various professions and everyday life. The opening of "El Criterio" introduces key concepts regarding the nature of thinking and truth. Balmes begins by asserting that to think well is to seek and understand the truth—reality as it truly exists—versus falling into error. The text outlines different ways of acquiring knowledge, noting that simply recognizing facts isn't enough; one must strive for a complete and accurate perception of reality. Balmes illustrates the need for undistracted attention in cognitive processes and discusses the common pitfalls leading to mistaken beliefs or judgments. This sets a groundwork for his argument that proper thought is vital in all aspects of life, fostering a climate where clarity and accuracy are paramount in understanding and judgment.
