In his book, \"Maurizio Ferraris offers a series of critical assessments of Kant's work, divided into two parts, written 21 years apart. The first part, \"Observation,\" published in 2001, lays the groundwork for Ferraris' \"New Realism,\" which has become a defining feature of 21st-century philosophy. The second part, \"Speculation,\" written in 2021, presents a comprehensive metaphysical theory of realism. What connects both parts of the book is the concept of hysteresis, which refers to the ability of effects to persist even after their causes have ceased to exist. Ferraris argues that hysteresis is a fundamental aspect of reality that cannot be explained by traditional scientific methods. He suggests that hysteresis plays a crucial role in understanding the nature of consciousness, the mind-body problem, and the relationship between the physical and the mental. Ferraris' book has received critical acclaim for its innovative approach to philosophy and its ability to challenge established beliefs. It has been praised for its clarity and accessibility, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the latest developments in philosophical thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 580g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157 x 235 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474478489\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maurizio Ferraris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46233849430266,"sku":"9781474478489","price":21.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1718396677684_book.jpg?v=1718437135","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hysteresis-the-external-world-9781474478489","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
