About This Book
"The theme of this book, that inanimate matter is far more mysterious than common sense and even science allow, is justified through consideration of various Western philosophical and scientific theories.
Jennifer Trusted suggests that there are three types of theory which have guided inquiry: corpuscular theories based on the view that matter is composed of small, material particles; non-material reality theories based on the view that the properties of matter are a consequence of immaterial forces which themselves constitute ultimate reality; and idealist theories which claim that sensible objects and materials are but mental constructs."--BOOK JACKET.
"These three theories also influence theories as to the interaction of matter and mind and theories of conscious awareness, which are discussed in the final chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
