| Summary | "Know the Truth: A Critique on the Hamiltonian Theory of Limitation" by Jesse H. Jones is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a critical examination of the Hamiltonian philosophical system, focusing on its limitations in addressing the relationship between faith, reason, and knowledge of the divine. The book aims to dismantle what the author perceives as dangerous errors inherent in this school of thought, emphasizing a personal and rational understanding of God. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivations for critiquing the Hamiltonian philosophy, describing it as a threat to Christian faith due to its perceived associations with Atheism. Jones articulates his belief that philosophical theology ultimately divides into two systems—Pantheism or Atheism versus pure Theism—and positions his arguments within this framework. He expresses gratitude to his mentors and gestures towards a foundational belief that human knowledge and faith must stem from reason. By framing the debate as one of recognizing the role of the Pure Reason, Jones sets the stage for delving deeply into metaphysical arguments as he aims to affirm the existence and attributes of God against the backdrop of 19th-century philosophical discourse.
