Lux E Tenebris Or The Testimony Of Consciousness

Lux E Tenebris Or The Testimony Of Consciousness: A Theoretic Essay is a philosophical work written by Giles in 1874. The book explores the nature of consciousness and its relationship to reality. Giles argues that consciousness is not simply a byproduct of physical processes in the brain, but rather an essential component of reality itself. He suggests that consciousness is the primary source of knowledge and understanding, and that it is through our conscious experiences that we come to know the world around us.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of consciousness. Giles begins by examining the nature of perception, arguing that our sensory experiences are not simply passive reflections of the world, but active constructions of reality. He then goes on to explore the relationship between consciousness and the self, arguing that the self is not a fixed entity, but rather a constantly evolving process.Throughout the book, Giles draws on a variety of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments. He engages with the work of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, David Hume, and John Stuart Mill, as well as contemporary scientists such as Charles Darwin and Ernst Mach.Overall, Lux E Tenebris Or The Testimony Of Consciousness: A Theoretic Essay is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of consciousness and its role in shaping our understanding of the world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or neuroscience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
