Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of our knowledge, arguing that true knowledge is not found through sense perception or external sensation, but rather through the examination of our own ideas and the operations of the mind. The author contends that matter, or the physical world, does not exist independently of our perceptions, and that our understanding of the world is fundamentally limited by our own subjective experiences. This challenging and thought-provoking treatise will appeal to those interested in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of reality and the limits of human knowledge. Engaging with the book's ideas invites readers to question assumptions about the world they perceive, deepening their understanding of the philosophical foundations of knowledge.
