Product description

This book is considered the second part of the series "Open Philosophy for All," after the first part "Why Do We Philosophize?" True to her simple and educational style, Lawrence Vanin-Ferna presents a discussion on one of the most important philosophical topics, which is perception within a philosophical question about knowledge: How does sensation and perception occur? How does the mind work in science and art? How does the eye cast its view on the world? And how does this view change among subjects whether sensory or human? And how does the view become human when it transcends the subject toward the self? And finally, how does an internal view become when it moves from the body to the soul? What we sense in Lawrence Vanin-Ferna's book is one of the classical discussions in philosophy, which is "Epistemology" (sensation and perception). But the author preferred to study this topic in an unconventional way, away from stereotypical notions that are constantly repeated; she chose to examine it within a dynamic and lively framework built on meaningful questions. She did not merely recount the basics of epistemology as understood by high school students or university students in foundational courses or bachelor's degrees, nor for any perceptive reader, but integrated knowledge into a broad and comprehensive framework, taking into account scientific knowledge and its uses of perception (observation, experimentation), then moral knowledge through the study of the body and the relationship with others, then aesthetic knowledge and the uses of perception in aesthetic judgment, then practical knowledge in sports and military strategy and the uses of the eye in monitoring and aiming, and finally spiritual knowledge through perceiving with the eye of the spirit and seeing the inner self.
