Sinopsis
Discover how the human mind turns experience into knowledge and how this shapes life itself.
The book analyzes how views of human nature have shifted from a purely mechanical world to one in which mind, meaning, and purpose play central roles. It invites readers to consider how truth is formed, how people connect with others, and how belief and action work together in daily life. Thoroughly revised, this edition clarifies the ideas and offers a framework for thinking about body, mind, and spirit as an integrated whole.
Grounded in a long tradition of inquiry, the work explains how knowledge grows from sensation, yet is organized by the mind’s own activity. It contrasts old and new world perspectives and argues for a view where human life is a unity of physical, social, intellectual, and moral aspects. The discussion extends to big questions about immortality, faith, and the purpose of existence, without losing sight of practical implications for living well.
- How sensations become knowledge through the mind’s organizing power
- Ways truth is understood as a unity that reflects an intelligible order
- Connections between science, religion, and daily living in a modern view of man
- Engagement with questions about immortality and the meaning of life
Ideal for readers who enjoy philosophy, theology, and discussions about how we live with purpose in a changing world.

As the spokesman of Science before the British Association in 1 898 Sir William Crookes declared that the universe was an organism, and that he saw in life the promise and potency of all forms of matter. The celebrated Belfast address was the last influential and authoritative utterance by a leader of the atomistic succession of mechanical thinkers. Not since have the philosophical atoms of Democritus and Epicurus and Lucretius had so conspicuous an opportunity to whirl and dance in imaginative splendor before the eyes of.
