Produktbeschreibung

Developing ideas drawn from historical figures such as Descartes, Husserl, Aristotle, and Whitehead, this collection of essays explores the structure of consciousness and its place in the world and, inversely, the structure of the world and the place of consciousness in it. Among the topics covered are: the phenomenological aspects of experience, dependencies between experience and the world and the basic ontological categories found in the world at large.
