The Threefold Cord

Mind, Body, and World

Beschreibung

Offers solutions to some of philosophy's vexing problems. This book examines the problem of realism: Is objective truth possible? It acknowledges the impasse between empirical and idealist approaches to this question, critiquing them both, however, by highlighting the false assumption they share, that we cannot perceive the world directly.
