Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to uncover the universal truths that underpin all the sciences, revealing that the perception of distinct entities that exist universally in nature precedes any science. The author presents an accessible theory of mathematics that asserts that we observe qualities of things and apply our powers of abstraction and reasoning to those we experience with our touch and muscular resistance. The author traces the evolution of our ideas of time, number and space back to their original sources, rejecting the hypotheses of innate notions and positing instead that these are derived from experience. Delving into the interplay between language and thought, the author goes on to demonstrate that the true foundations of knowledge are in direct observation and not in hypothetical anticipations. Their ultimate conclusion is that human knowledge can only be coherent and certain if it is based on the objective reality of the shared qualities of matter, as opposed to subjective mental experiences. This bookâs bold reconceptualization of mathematics offers a provocative perspective that overturns conventional thinking about the origins of our knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
