The Sense of Things

The exploration centers on the evolution of human consciousness through the interplay between the self and the world, challenging the binary of idealism and realism. By examining contemporary debates on realism, the author reveals semantic misunderstandings at the heart of these discussions. Drawing from modern phenomenology, particularly Husserl's transcendental idealism, the book advocates for a "transcendental realism" that emphasizes the dynamic unity of cognition, proposing a reciprocal relationship between subject and object that transcends traditional epistemological boundaries.
