Synopsis
A clear, ideas-first guide to the big questions about mind, space, and knowledge.
This concise volume distills a rigorous critique of how philosophy should be done.
In these pages, Bascom argues that philosophy should illuminate the limits of what we can know. It contrasts the steady, testable methods of science with the stubborn drift of speculative metaphysics. The author frames mind and matter as two essential forms of experience—space for physical phenomena and consciousness for mental phenomena—without overreaching into unknowable realms.- See how mind and world intertwine, yet stay distinct in our experience.
- Learn why appeals to consciousness can mislead when used as a stand‑alone proof.
- Understand the difference between intuitive ideas and verifiable judgments.
- Explore a philosophic approach that seeks cautious, coherent foundations rather than absolute certainty.
