«El criterio» is the philosophical essay by Jaime Balmes on knowledge and judgment, published by Bruguera in hardback (335 pages, in Spanish).
A classic work of Spanish thought in which Balmes analyzes how to know the truth and act sensibly. Born as a logic for children, it became a manual of good sense that examines perception, judgment and reasoning, and teaches how to detect errors and think with one's own criteria. Complete text by the Catalan philosopher, one of the great renewers of philosophy in Spain during the 19th century.
Belongs to the Obras Inmortales collection by Bruguera. This 1974 edition is the first in that collection and includes a preliminary study by Antonio Rosell Torrens.
Recommended for readers interested in classical philosophy, practical logic and 19th-century Spanish essay, as well as for students seeking tools to reason rigorously.
Jaime Luciano Balmes y Urpiá was a Spanish philosopher, theologian, Catholic apologist, sociologist and political writer. Familiar with the doctrine of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Balmes was an original philosopher, who did not belong to any particular school or stream, and was called by Pius XII the Prince of Modern Apologetics.
