Description

G. Dawes Hicks’s Critical Realism: Studies in the Philosophy of Mind and Nature (1938) offers a profound exploration of the relationship between perception, knowledge, and reality. Rooted in the philosophical movement of critical realism, Hicks examines how the mind apprehends the external world without reducing reality to mere perception or subjective experience. Through rigorous analysis and lucid argumentation, he bridges the gap between empiricism and idealism, presenting a balanced view of human cognition and the natural world. This scholarly work remains a significant contribution to modern philosophy, appealing to readers interested in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind.
