George Caruana

George Caruana (1831–1872) was a Maltese minor philosopher mostly interested in epistemology.

He was born in Victoria, Gozo in 1831, and dedicated his relatively short life to academic work.

Back in the Maltese islands, in 1858 Caruana was appointed Rector at the bishop’s seminary of Malta.

Caruana occupied the Chair of Philosophy for thirteen years, until his premature death.

Caruana deals with a number of themes, namely, knowledge, truth, nature, conscience, sensibility, imagination, intellect, intuition, judgement, discourse, memory, words, and such like subjects.
