Synopsis

Explore a sweeping view of philosophy that links science, mind, and moral life. This edition traces how knowledge moves between natural science and metaphysics, arguing that a full understanding of reality comes from synthesizing physical causation with the purpose-driven view of selfhood.

In clear, accessible language, the book surveys the evolution of ideas from Kant to modern debates, examining how consciousness, perception, and the self shape our grasp of objects, truth, and value. It blends discussion of biology, physics, and ethics to show how human understanding grows through a dialogue between observation and reflection.


  • How science and metaphysics argue for different kinds of explanations and why both matter

  • The role of selfhood, agency, and purpose in making sense of the world

  • How perception, cognition, and articulation come together to form knowledge

  • Key debates on evolution, mutation theory, and the link between biology and philosophy



Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, broad-minded account of how philosophy interfaces with science, mind, and society. It’s well suited to those exploring foundational questions about knowledge, reality, and ethics.
