Description

C. D. Broad’s Perception, Physics and Reality (1914) is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between sensory perception and physical science. Broad investigates how far the discoveries of physics can inform us about the nature of reality beyond appearances. Through rigorous analysis, he examines the interplay between perception, experience, and the physical world, questioning the extent to which scientific knowledge reveals the “real” structure of the universe. This seminal work bridges philosophy and science, offering valuable insights into epistemology and the philosophy of perception. It remains a significant contribution to early twentieth-century philosophical thought on the limits and possibilities of scientific understanding.
