Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed treatise on natural philosophy, a discipline that overlaps with physics and metaphysics and is concerned with the fundamental nature of reality. The author begins by discussing perception, arguing that the basis of our knowledge of the external world comes not from innate ideas, but from sensation, which gives us access to the properties of the world as they appear to us, and not as they may be in themselves. The author then discusses the properties of matter, the nature of motion and change, and the relationship between the two. He rejects the idea of a vacuum and of atoms, and instead posits that matter is infinitely divisible. The author also discusses the nature of light and sound, arguing that they are both vibrations in a medium, the former in a luminiferous ether, and the latter in the air. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science, and for anyone interested in the fundamental nature of reality.
