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

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.
