Essays Towards A Theory Of Knowledge is a philosophical work written by Alexander Philip and published in 1915. The book explores the nature of knowledge and the methods used to acquire it.

The book is divided into several essays, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of knowledge. Philip begins by examining the nature of perception and the role it plays in acquiring knowledge. He then moves on to discuss the relationship between knowledge and reality, arguing that our understanding of reality is limited by our perceptions and the limitations of our senses. Philip also explores the idea of intuition and its role in knowledge acquisition.
