Publisher's Synopsis
Problems of Life and Mind, Third Series: Problem One is a philosophical book written by George Henry Lewes. The book is part of a series of three books that explore various philosophical problems related to life and the human mind. Problem One, as the title suggests, focuses on a specific problem that Lewes identifies as the ""problem of knowledge."" The book delves into the question of how we acquire knowledge and what the nature of knowledge truly is. Lewes argues that knowledge is not simply a collection of facts or information, but rather a complex and dynamic process that involves the interaction of various mental faculties. He explores the role of perception, memory, and reasoning in the acquisition of knowledge, and discusses the limitations and biases that can affect our understanding of the world around us. Throughout the book, Lewes draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments, including the works of Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, as well as contemporary research in psychology and neuroscience. He also considers the implications of his ideas for other areas of philosophy, such as ethics and metaphysics. Overall, Problems of Life and Mind, Third Series: Problem One is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy. The book is written in a clear and engaging style that makes it accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in philosophy and the nature of human knowledge.1879.
