Sinopsis
Hook line : Discover how perception, memory, and the body together shape what we know about reality.
This work offers a clear, patient look at how consciousness is built from experiences. It surveys how we locate conscious processes inside the body and how memory preserves the flow of experience over time. The discussion centers on the idea that our knowledge arises from the interplay of perception, inner processes, and the physical world, without assuming a separate, nonphysical mind.
- Learn how sensations and feelings become part of a continuous stream of awareness
- See how memory sustains experience and makes the self feel persistent
- Understand why the body is treated as the proximate condition of consciousness
- Explore classic questions about the relation between mind, matter, and knowledge

Excerpt from Some Cardinal Points in Knowledge
Places. It is the nature of 'consciousness to be a knowing; it is the genesis of consciousness that, in Man at any rate, is known, because discovered, to be dependent on real conditions of existence. And it is the analysis of the nature of consciousness which enables and compels us to draw this distinction, as well as that between the two orders, of knowledge and of existence, themselves. Man's conscious ness has not to provide for its own genesis; it is not known a priori as creative; it has only to provide, in its metaphysical department, for understanding, so far as it can, its own nature and genesis, these conceptions having been arrived at by experience. In its nature, philosophy is a knowing. That knowing and existing should follow opposite time-directions is no contradiction, even if they coincide in occupying the same empirical portions of time-duration, in which no time-direction, and therefore no difference of time-directions, is perceivable. We now see that, when we think of an empirical present member of the stream of consciousness as moving from past to present, we are thinking of it as an existent, and when we think of it as moving from present to past we are thinking of it as a knowing. The perception or thought of it as an existent is the subjective aspect of it as an existent; the perception or thought of it as a knowing is the perception or thought of it as the evidence, and the sole evidence, that is, the subjective aspect, of anything and everything whatever.

Excerpt from Some Cardinal Points in Knowledge
Moreover, it is evident from the physical sciences, that the replica is capable of many analyses quite different from those sensations which give us our immediate knowledge of it, though always into constituents which derive their whole meaning from touch and stress sensations (pars. 24-32). [There follow here some remarks on Pragmatism, a doctrine very much in vogue at the present time (pars. 33-8).]
VI. We locate, in thought, consciousness within the organism, because it is within the organism that we cannot but locate its proximate real conditions as an existent (pars. 39-49).
VII. The elements which are inseparable from one another in all human empirical experience may be grouped under two heads, formal and material, the formal being those of time-duration and space-extension, and the material some mode or modes of feeling. But we cannot avoid conceiving the possibility of an indefinite variety of modes of consciousness other than our own, of which we can form no positive idea whatever (par. 50).
VIII. The Emotions are those modes of feeling, the existence of which is immediately conditioned upon intra-cerebral activities, just as that of sensations is upon stimuli received by the peripheral terminations of the neuro-cerebral system. Their specific qualities in point of kind are as incapable of being thought to be caused or conditioned, as those of sensation are. They have thus an equal title with the sensations, and with the formal co-elements of time and space, which are common to both, to rank as ultimate sources of man's whole knowledge of Being and Existence, of the Universe and of Reality. We cannot avoid understanding the terms Being and Existence to mean that which, at the least, is knowable by some consciousness or other (pars. 51-5).
IX. Emotions are the motives (including in that term the unperceived activity of their proximate real conditions) of all Desire, Volition, Thought, and Conscious Action. When consciously adopted they are known as Final Causes (pars. 56-9).
X. Theology differs from Philosophy in having a special object of inquiry, viz. the Power which upholds the Totality of Being - not that Totality itself. It differs from Religion in not being emotional, but theoretical only (pars. 60-1).
