Phantoms of the Mind

This exciting book is an in depth study of psychological perception. The author contends that the human mind or psyche creates an image of the outer world from the information provided by the senses, which we all believe to be reality. However, the objects observed, the energy that transmits their appearance, the nerve impulses from the sensory receptors, and the sensations in the brain are all different things. Scientific experiments are observed through this same system of perception, so that they only seem to prove the nature of reality. A true image of the world then does not exist. The appearance of the world that we perceive is an illusion: a phantom created in the mind.
