Excerpt from The Concept of Consciousness
Clearly the present volume will not aim to be a system. But it does profess not to forget the initial quest of philosophy, and toward this goal it seeks to indicate some little way of advance. Its scope is limited, for it proposes only to give a consistent account, a definition, of one very common yet perplexing feature of the universe - consciousness. Of course, this has been defined many times beige, and much discussed, yet so often without consistency and so strikingly without agreement that the last word, very obviously, has by no means been said.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing realm of consciousness, exploring its nature and definition. Emerging amidst a resurgence of interest in logic during the early 20th century, the author challenges prevailing philosophical views, particularly those of idealism. Idealism posits that reality is fundamentally mental, while this book argues for a more grounded approach rooted in the concrete world of experience. The author contends that logic, often perceived as a dry and technical subject, actually offers profound insights into the structure of existence. By examining the relationships between simple and complex entities, the book reveals a hierarchical order in the universe. This exploration extends to consciousness itself, questioning whether it is a simple or complex phenomenon and whether it can be definitively defined. Drawing upon the works of renowned thinkers, the author navigates through diverse philosophical landscapes, examining concepts like the Absolute and the role of thought and perception. Ultimately, this book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of consciousness and its place within the intricate tapestry of being. Its insights challenge us to recognize the inherent order and unity within the seemingly disparate elements of our world, offering a fresh perspective on the age-old quest for knowledge and understanding.
