Synopsis

This book delves into the complex development of consciousness, tracing the evolution of human understanding from infancy through adulthood. The author examines the dual nature of human consciousness, divided between inner control and the influence of the external world, and how this dynamic shapes our perception of reality. Through a comprehensive analysis of pre-logical and logical processes, the book explores the role of imagination in mediating our experience of the world. The author argues that imagination plays a crucial role in both our initial encounter with reality and in our ongoing pursuit of knowledge, acting as a tool for discovery and a source of creative insight. By examining the ways in which imagination and cognition interact, the book sheds light on the fundamental mechanisms of human thought and experience. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and nuanced account of the development of consciousness, providing valuable insights into the nature of reality and the human mind.
