The Perception Of Space And Matter (1879)

The Perception of Space and Matter is a book written by Walter Johnston Estep in 1879. It is a philosophical work that explores the nature of space and matter and how they are perceived by humans. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the perception of space and the second part on the perception of matter.In the first part, Estep discusses the different theories of space perception, including the idea that space is an objective reality and the idea that it is a subjective construct of the mind. He also examines the role of perception in creating our experience of space and how it is influenced by cultural and historical factors.The second part of the book focuses on the perception of matter, including the different theories of material perception and the role of the senses in creating our experience of matter. Estep also explores the relationship between matter and consciousness, and how our perception of matter is shaped by our beliefs and cultural background.Throughout the book, Estep draws on a range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments, including the work of Immanuel Kant, John Locke, and Ernst Mach. The Perception of Space and Matter is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of our perception of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
