Metaphysics Or The Philosophy Of Consciousness

Metaphysics or The Philosophy of Consciousness: Phenomenal and Real is a book written by Henry Longueville Mansel and published in 1860. The book explores the concept of metaphysics, which is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of reality and existence. Mansel argues that consciousness is the foundation of all knowledge and that it is impossible to fully understand reality without understanding the nature of consciousness. The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the nature of consciousness and its relation to knowledge, the second part explores the relationship between consciousness and reality, and the third part examines the limits of human knowledge. Mansel draws on the works of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and John Locke to support his arguments and provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand complex concepts.Throughout the book, Mansel emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the phenomenal world, which is the world as it appears to us, and the real world, which is the world as it actually is. He argues that our perception of reality is limited by our consciousness and that we can never fully know the true nature of things. Metaphysics or The Philosophy of Consciousness: Phenomenal and Real is a complex and challenging work that requires careful reading and reflection. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of reality, consciousness, and human knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
