Sommario/riassunto |
|
Do the objects that we perceive though our senses exist autonomously, independent of the mind that perceives them? Three and a half centuries have gone by without a universally acceptable solution. Jean-ReneĢ Vernes shows that this failure results from the fundamental error in classical thinking, which identifies reason with determinant reason alone |
