Synopsis
How perception becomes knowledge—and why our minds can blur lines between reality and imagination.
In On Intelligence, Vol. 1, the author explores how senses form the building blocks of experience. The text traces how colors, sounds, and tastes come together, and how memories and expectations shape what we notice and how we interpret it. It also examines the difference between ordinary thoughts and vivid visions, including how imagination can feel real while remaining distinct from actual events.
- See how the three basic elements of color and the mix of light create the colors we observe.
- Understand how taste and smell blend with touch and other cues to form complex sensations.
- Learn how imagination, memory, and perception interact, and how hallucinations differ from poetic vision.
- Discover why “repression” and shifting attention can alter our sense of reality and time.
Ideal for readers curious about how the mind converts sensations into knowledge, and where imagination fits in daily experience.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of human thought and how we acquire knowledge. The author, in the tradition of philosophers like Condillac, explores the role of signs and symbols in shaping our understanding. He argues that our most complex ideas are ultimately built from simple sensations and mental images, which are themselves mere substitutes for the real experiences we have. The book uses a clear and engaging approach, drawing on examples from everyday life, mathematics, and even the study of hallucinations to illustrate his points. Through a series of careful analyses, the author examines how we form general concepts, how these concepts become intertwined with language, and how images and sensations are the building blocks of our mental world. He even ventures into the realm of physiology, proposing a connection between specific brain functions and different types of mental events. Ultimately, the book reveals the intricate mechanisms at work within our minds, offering a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of how we think and what it means to have knowledge.
