Sinossi
Excerpt from The Concept of Nature: The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919
The modern natural philosophy is shot through and through with the fallacy of bifurcation which is discussed in the second chapter of this work. Accordingly all its technical terms in some subtle way presuppose a misunderstanding of my thesis. It is perhaps as well to state explicitly that if the reader indulges in the facile vice of bifurcation not a word of what I have here written will be intelligible.
The last two chapters do not properly belong to the special course. Chapter VIII is a lecture delivered in the spring of 1920 before the Chemical Society of the students of the Imperial College of Science and Technology. It has been appended here as conveniently summing up and applying the doctrine of the book for an audience with one definite type of outlook.
This volume on 'the Concept of Nature' forms a companion book to my previous work An Enquiry concerning the Principles of Natural Knowledge. Either book can be read independently, but they supplement each other. In part the present book supplies points of view which were omitted from its predecessor; in part it traverses the same ground with an alternative exposition. For one thing, mathematical notation has been carefully avoided, and the results of mathematical deductions are assumed. Some of the explanations have been improved and others have been set in a new light. On the other hand important points of the previous work have been omitted where I have had nothing fresh to say about them.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the concept of nature, challenging the long-held assumptions of Western philosophy and science. The author delves into the origins of the scientific doctrine of matter, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek thought. He argues that the prevailing notion of matter as a fundamental substance, with properties perceived as attributes, is fundamentally flawed. The author critiques the bifurcation of nature into two separate realms: one of perceived reality and another of the unseen, causal reality responsible for perception. This division, he contends, is a result of a misguided focus on how our minds experience the world rather than on the nature of the world itself. The book explores the interconnectedness of time, space, and causality as key elements in understanding nature, ultimately advocating for a more holistic understanding of the universe in which the perceived world and its causal mechanisms are not distinct but inextricably intertwined. The authorââ â¢s insightful analysis provides a compelling argument for reconsidering the foundations of our understanding of nature.
