Coles A Treatise Concerning The Principles Of Human Knowledge at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A treatise concerning the principles of human knowledge examines the roots of knowledge and the reality that shapes perception. The book delves into the question of true existence, proposing that the outside world is not formed of material objects independent of observation but consists entirely of ideas linked to perceiving minds. It challenges traditional philosophy by urging that material things cannot be thought of apart from direct experience and that abstract ideas, when separated from sensory contact, give rise to confusion and skepticism. The narrative explores the belief that reality is inherently bound to perception—the existence of anything is conditional upon its being perceived, a concept that redefines how truth and understanding are constructed. Through this work, arguments about the limits of abstraction and the dangers of misusing language are proposed, urging readers to look past surface words to the core of ideas. The treatise maintains that knowledge is sustained only in the interplay between mind and experience, and appeals to both common-sense reasoning and spiritual reflection to resolve longstanding philosophical dilemmas.
