Subject and Object: as Connected With Our Double Brain, and a New Theory of Causation

Subject And Object: As Connected With Our Double Brain, And A New Theory Of Causation by Robert Verity surveys a philosophy of mind rooted in brain anatomy. The work argues that consciousness arises from the dual brain's reflex interactions and its connections between external sensory input and internal ideas. It presents a New Theory of Causation: causation is the union of multiple potential elements forming an effect, with the cause and the effect coequal and interdependent. The text traces the origin of consciousness and perception, and proposes that external noumena together with internal representations constitute knowledge. It introduces two objectivities—external and internal—and a Method of Inquiry by Causation that unites induction, verification, and causal analysis to bridge mind and world. Throughout, Verity seeks a synthesis of realism and idealism grounded in physiological facts, linking science, philosophy, and spirituality through First Causation and the unity of mind and world. It also discusses how the brain's anterior and posterior lobes and thalamic centers mediate subject and object, sensation and thought, and free will.
