The Limits Of Evolution And Other Essays: Illustrating The Metaphysical Theory Of Personal Idealism

By George Holmes Howison

Book Overview

""The Limits of Evolution and Other Essays"" is a collection of essays written by George Holmes Howison, a prominent philosopher and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. The book explores the limits of evolution as a theory for explaining the nature of reality, arguing that it cannot fully account for the complexity and diversity of the world around us. Instead, Howison advocates for a metaphysical theory of personal idealism, which holds that the universe is fundamentally mental in nature and that individual consciousness plays a central role in shaping reality. The essays cover a range of topics, including the nature of causation, the relationship between mind and matter, and the role of ethics in shaping our understanding of the world. Howison's writing is clear and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of mind and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
