9781428628236: Perception, Physics And Reality: An Enquiry Into The Information That Physical Science Can Supply About The Real

Sinopsis

Perception, Physics and Reality by Charles Dunbar Broad is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality and the extent to which physical science can provide us with knowledge about it. The book explores the relationship between perception, physics, and reality, and asks whether our perceptions of the world are accurate and reliable, or whether they are distorted by our subjective experiences.Broad begins by examining the various theories of perception that have been proposed throughout history, including those of Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes. He then moves on to explore the nature of physical reality, looking at the theories of modern physics and their implications for our understanding of the world.Throughout the book, Broad argues that our perceptions of reality are shaped by both physical and psychological factors, and that our understanding of the world is always limited by the tools we use to observe it. He also suggests that there may be aspects of reality that are beyond the reach of physical science, and that we may need to rely on other forms of knowledge, such as intuition and personal experience, to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.Overall, Perception, Physics and Reality is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of reality and our place in it. It will be of interest to anyone interested in philosophy, physics, or the nature of knowledge and perception.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

By natural science, for the present purpose, I mean physics. When a certain way of looking at the universe meets with the extraordinary success with which that of physics has met it becomes the duty of the philosopher to investigate it with care; for it is likely to offer a very much better Cosmology than his own unaided efforts can do. A nd, if philosophy is to take into account empirical facts and it is extremely difficult to see what it will be able to tell us about the existent unless it does it can hardly neglect the most fruitful and thorough investigation of certain large branches of empirical facts that has yet been made. But natural science starts with certain assumptions, and, as it goes on, it developes certain general conclusions about the real world. For instance, it starts with a position not far removed from naif realism, and, in its progress, it draws a distinction between the reality of primary and secondary qualities, and develOpes a causal theory of perception. Now the distinction between primary and secondary qualities as to their reality is a metaphysical question, and science seems historically to have taken over its answer to it from Descartes. This has led quite reasonably to an attack on science from later philosophers who have not agreed that it was possible to stop at the point at which Descartes and natural science stopped in this matter.
