Synopsis

This book examines the nature of cognition and specifically how we come to know the extra-mental or external. The author argues that all cognitions are modes of mind, and from this premise begins a thorough analysis of how we apprehend the world outside ourselves. This book takes a critical look at various theories on the perception of matter, from Locke's doctrine of conformity to Kant's theory of phenomena and noumena, arguing that we have true knowledge of matter in perception. This book is a must-read for students of epistemology and anyone interested in the nature of our knowledge of the world. It offers a deep dive into the philosophical theories and debates surrounding our perception of reality and the complex relationship between mind and matter.
