Synopsis

Explore how realism meets modern science .

This rigorous work surveys competing philosophies and shows how logic, science, and epistemology shape our view of reality.

Delving into topics from causation to consciousness, it surveys Naturalism, Parallelism, Pragmatism, and Phenomenalism. It questions how mind and matter relate, how we know, and what counts as evidence. The book uses precise analysis to test theories about energy, evolution, and the structure of the world.

• Learn how different systems treat the relationship between knowing and the known object
• See critiques of teleology, psychism, and energy concepts in philosophy
• Understand how presuppositions influence philosophical systems
• Follow the discussion of error, proof, and the problem of external relations

Ideal for readers of philosophy, logic, and the philosophy of science seeking a clear, thoughtful survey of major Realist and Naturalist positions.
