Three Dialogues Between Hylas And Philonous, With An Introduction And Notes (1897)

""Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, with an Introduction and Notes"" is a philosophical work written by Satish Chandra Banerji and published in 1897. The book is a collection of dialogues between two characters, Hylas and Philonous, who engage in a philosophical debate about the nature of reality, perception, and knowledge.The first dialogue focuses on the concept of materialism and the idea that physical objects exist independently of our perception of them. Philonous argues that our perception of the world is subjective and that the existence of physical objects cannot be proven.In the second dialogue, the two characters discuss the nature of space and time. Philonous argues that space and time are not objective entities but rather are dependent on our perception of them.The third dialogue centers around the concept of causation and the idea that events are caused by other events. Philonous argues that causation is not a necessary condition for events to occur and that the idea of causation is a product of our perception of the world.The book also includes an introduction and notes by the author that provide context and analysis of the dialogues. Overall, ""Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous"" is a thought-provoking philosophical work that challenges traditional ideas about reality and perception.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
