Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of human knowledge, examining how our sensory perceptions give rise to ideas and concepts. The author, a pioneer in the field of epistemology, challenges established views and presents his own innovative theory on the development of knowledge from simple sensations to complex mental operations. Delving into the relationship between the mind and body, the author argues that our perceptions are not merely passive receptions of external stimuli but rather active processes that shape our understanding of the world. He introduces the concept of 'attention', highlighting its role in selecting and enhancing certain perceptions while diminishing others. Furthermore, he proposes that our memories are not a passive storehouse of past experiences but rather an ongoing process of recollection and reconstruction. Through insightful analysis and thought-provoking examples, this book challenges conventional notions of knowledge and offers a fresh perspective on the nature of human understanding. It is an essential read for philosophers, psychologists, and anyone interested in the fundamental questions of how we know and understand the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282294489_0
