Synopsis

Rhythms of Reality explores how sameness and novelty shape objects, perception, and the flow of nature.

This concise examination reveals how patterns become life through the ongoing fusion of repetition and change, from atoms to living systems. The book frames a bold view of nature, where every object is tied to its events and their rhythm. It explains how scientific concepts express the causal relations that connect perception, matter, and the evolution of reality.

• Understand how rhythm is built from both pattern and difference, and why mere repetition dulls it.
• Learn how objects are defined by their relations to events and how life-bearing objects differ from simple patterns.
• Explore how perception, scientific objects, and causation interlink to describe the world we observe.
• Grasp the idea of transmission, action at a distance, and the dual sides of nature: creative advance and permanence.

Ideal for readers of philosophy of science and metaphysics, this edition helps clarify how rhythm, objects, and life contribute to our understanding of reality.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Natural Knowledge

Modern speculative physics with its revolutionary theories concerning the natures of matter and of electricity has made urgent the question, What are the ultimate data of science? It is in accordance with the nature Of things that mankind should find itself acting and should then proceed to discuss the rationale of its activities. Thus the creation of science precedes the analysis of its data and can even be accompanied by the acceptance of faulty analyses, though such errors end by warping scientific imagination.
