Produktbeschreibung
How do we truly come to know the world? The Five Senses; Or, Gateways To Knowledge by George Wilson invites readers to contemplate this age-old question through the lens of 19th century philosophy. In an age when Victorian era science was reshaping intellectual life, Wilson's study of sensory perception exploration became a touchstone for both students of philosophy and seekers of knowledge. Each sense is examined not merely as a physical faculty, but as a vital gateway to understanding, blending the rigour of 1850s scientific literature with the reflective spirit of educational philosophy books. Wilson, a contemporary of Charles Darwin and influenced by the likes of Thomas Carlyle, crafts a compelling guide to knowledge acquisition that bridges scientific insight and philosophical enquiry. His lucid prose and thoughtful analysis make this volume an essential resource for academic readers, classic-literature collectors, and anyone fascinated by the intellectual development that defined the Victorian educational texts of the era. This is a book that asks you to pause. To notice. To learn. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
