Excerpt from The Contact Between Minds: A Metaphysical Hypothesis
The purpose of this book is very limited. It is not a theory of reality. It is an attempt to determine the character of only one element in reality, namely the relation between minds which is referred to in common speech as communication or co-operation. And even that relation is not here analysed psychologically, for the subject here is philosophy or metaphysics. To analyse the kinds of communication and discover their necessary conditions would require psychological experiment; and although the results of some past experiments are, in fact, relevant, the presence of communication between minds has not been much noticed by psychologists. For example, whenever we test acuity of sense and refer to the "real" weight or the "real" size of objects, we are using a standard which implies communication of minds; but that does not suffice as evidence for its psychological character. Socrates, worried by the orthodox, said he had enough religion for his needs; and the experimental psychologist may say that he has enough metaphysics for his needs. So also may the students of the various "social" sciences - economics, politics, and the rest.

The Contact Between Minds: A Metaphysical Hypothesis (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the relationship between human minds that is variously referred to as communication or cooperation. The author argues that, contrary to the views of some philosophers such as Leibniz, minds do not exist as separate entities with no means of connecting with each other; rather, the author claims that the ability of minds to engage with one another is one of the fundamental characteristics of reality. The author analyzes the relationship between minds and the objects of knowledge, as well as the relationship between the individual mind and others, to argue that the connections between minds are as real and substantial as the connections between other elements of the world around us. The author brings together ideas from the history of philosophy on this subject with new insights to illuminate the nature of this essential human trait. By unveiling the significance of this very human experience, the author contributes to the understanding of one of the most fundamental dimensions of human existence.
