The Analogy Of Thought And Nature (1863)

The Analogy of Thought and Nature, written by Edward Vansittart Neale and published in 1863, is a philosophical work that explores the relationship between human thought and the natural world. Neale argues that there is a fundamental connection between the two, and that human beings can gain a deeper understanding of nature by studying the workings of their own minds.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Neale introduces his thesis and lays out his argument for the analogy between thought and nature. He draws on the work of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to support his claims.In the second part, Neale delves deeper into the analogy, exploring various aspects of human thought and relating them to different phenomena in nature. He discusses the role of imagination, the nature of perception, and the workings of the human mind in general.In the third part, Neale applies his ideas to a range of topics, including art, science, and religion. He argues that a better understanding of the relationship between thought and nature can lead to a more profound appreciation of these subjects.Overall, The Analogy of Thought and Nature offers a unique perspective on the relationship between human beings and the natural world, and provides a thought-provoking exploration of the connections between the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
