Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the human mind, exploring the origins of our ideas and the nature of judgment. Challenging traditional notions, the author argues that all our thoughts and beliefs stem from our physical senses and the way we process sensory experiences. Memory, in this view, is simply a weakened form of sensation, and judgment is the ability to perceive the relationships between different objects and ideas. Delving into the role of passions, the author shows how they can both lead us astray and propel us towards knowledge. By focusing our attention and motivating us to overcome intellectual laziness, passions become the engine of our intellectual pursuits. However, they can also cloud our judgment and lead to errors by fixating our attention on specific aspects of an object while obscuring others. This exploration of the mind extends to the societal level, examining how the judgments of individuals and nations are shaped by their respective interests. The author argues that the value we place on ideas and actions is ultimately determined by their perceived usefulness to ourselves or our communities. This leads to fascinating insights into the dynamics of social esteem, cultural differences, and even the rise and fall of empires. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking and unconventional perspective on the human mind, revealing the underlying mechanisms that drive our thoughts, judgments, and ultimately, our actions. By understanding these mechanisms, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
