Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of the modern-day dominance of phenomenalism and its various idealist trends by examining their historical origins. The author does so by primarily focusing on the work of the prominent German philosopher and one of the main proponents of phenomenalism, Friedrich Paulsen. The author begins by outlining the naive realism that posits the existence of a world independent of our conscious experience. They then go on to describe how philosophical reflections during the modern era, beginning with figures such as Hume and Kant, have led to the increasing popularity of phenomenalism, which holds that all that we can know are the contents of our own minds and experiences. The author argues that this line of thought has subsequently led to the illusionist view that the world we perceive is nothing more than a dream. In contrast, the author posits that a critical examination of phenomenalism reveals its foundational contradictions and incoherence. They maintain that while our perception of the world is indeed subjective, it is nonetheless possible to apprehend the existence of an external, mind-independent reality. By scrutinizing the work of Paulsen, the author ultimately demonstrates that despite his idealist claims, his own philosophical arguments often betray realist assumptions. This book contributes to the broader philosophical discourse on the nature of reality and the limits of human knowledge by presenting a rigorous critique of one of the most influential philosophical movements of recent times.
