Sinossi
Excerpt from The Metaphysics of Nature
Critical Philosophy, which takes its name from Kant, and which I shall usually call Metaphysics, is the study of the validity and adequacy of knowledge and belief. Positive Philosophy, with its premises, is, therefore, part of the Object of Metaphysics; but only a part: for Metaphysics has two branches, the Metaphysics of Nature and Science, and the Metaphysics of Ideals. The Ideals are expressed in Polity, Religion, Art, and Virtue; but these human Ideals and their metaphysical significance are beyond the scope of this volume. The Metaphysics of Nature, as Nature is presented to us in science and experience, is my subject; but Since the regions of science are certainly greater than I can explore, I Shall deal only with their most general principles, where they come nearest to philosophical interest, are least technical, and have now become an element of general culture; and it is a rule from which I never depart, not to attempt to solve a priori any problem, that can only be effectually treated by inductive methods. The criticism of knowledge and beliefs, then; and, of course, some extensions and interpretations of them, in order to give roundness and coherence to the whole; in fact, an essay toward the Prima Philosophia.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of belief, knowledge, and reality, exploring the intricate relationship between human understanding and the world around us. The author navigates the historical landscape of philosophical thought, from the early Greeks to influential figures like Descartes, Kant, and Hume, examining their diverse perspectives on how we acquire knowledge and establish truth. The central theme revolves around the fundamental question of what constitutes reality. The author dissects various interpretations, including empirical reality based on sense perception, physical reality as conceived by science, and the subjective reality of personal experience. The complexities of perception, the limitations of human senses, and the role of scientific inquiry in shaping our understanding of the universe are meticulously explored. This book delves into profound philosophical concepts such as substance, causality, and the nature of the self, inviting readers to critically examine their own beliefs and assumptions. The author's insightful analysis sheds light on the inherent challenges and limitations of human knowledge, while also highlighting the enduring power of reason and experience in our pursuit of truth. By unraveling the intricate tapestry of belief, knowledge, and reality, this book offers a thought-provoking journey into the depths of human understanding and its profound implications for how we perceive and interact with the world.
