Book Overview

Lux E Tenebris Or The Testimony Of Consciousness: A Theoretic Essay (1874) is a philosophical work written by Giles, exploring the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which delves deeper into the complexities of consciousness.In the first section, Giles provides an overview of the history of philosophical thought on consciousness, tracing its development from the ancient Greeks to the present day. He explores the various theories that have been put forward to explain the nature of consciousness, including dualism, materialism, and idealism.In the second section, Giles presents his own theory of consciousness, which he calls ""the testimony of consciousness."" According to this theory, consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe, and it provides us with direct access to the nature of reality. Giles argues that consciousness cannot be reduced to physical processes, and that it is not simply an epiphenomenon of the brain.In the final section of the book, Giles explores the implications of his theory of consciousness for various areas of philosophy, including ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology. He argues that his theory provides a new foundation for philosophical inquiry, and that it has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the world.Overall, Lux E Tenebris Or The Testimony Of Consciousness: A Theoretic Essay is a thought-provoking and challenging work that will be of interest to anyone interested in the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
