Metaphysical Inquiry Into Method, Objects, and Result of Ancient and Modern Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explore how mind and world connect through careful reasoning and vivid analogy.
A classic philosophical work that examines perception, knowledge, and the traditions of thought about mind and matter. It uses careful comparisons—between colors and sounds, light and vision, and the ties between mental and physical realms—to illuminate how we know what we see and feel.
This edition presents a rigorous inquiry into how ideas are formed and tested. It traces how we use analogy to build scientific and philosophical theories, while noting the limits of that approach. Readers will encounter detailed discussions of optics, sensation, and the ways reasoning links sensory experience with the broader order of nature.
- How analogy shapes scientific and philosophical reasoning
- Comparisons between sound, color, light, and vision to reveal perception’s limits
- The mind–body relationship and how ideas about causation are tested against experience
- References to historical thinkers and the development of metaphysical argument
Ideal for readers of classical philosophy and intellectual history who want a clear, orderly exploration of how we think about knowledge and reality.
