Publisher's Synopsis
Sensation and Intellection: Their Character and Their Function in the Cognition of the Real and the Ideal is a philosophical treatise written by Henry Webb Brewster in 1893. The book explores the nature of human cognition, specifically the roles of sensation and intellection in understanding both the real and the ideal.Brewster argues that sensation and intellection are distinct but interdependent processes that work together to produce knowledge. Sensation is the initial perception of the external world through the senses, while intellection is the mental process of interpreting and making sense of those perceptions.The book also delves into the relationship between cognition and reality, examining how our perceptions and interpretations of the world around us shape our understanding of what is real and what is ideal. Brewster argues that while our perceptions are limited by our senses, our intellect allows us to transcend those limitations and form a more comprehensive understanding of the world.Overall, Sensation and Intellection is a thought-provoking work that explores fundamental questions about human cognition and our relationship to 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.
