中文說明   
英文說明 Few would question the fact that sense experience originally
provided a firm basis for empirical natural science. Yet
contemporary science has reduced the world to particles
and forces that lie well beyond the reach of our human
senses. The extraordinarynd alienatingact is that
human experience no longer has a place within our
scientific worldview.

The authors of this book (a revised and updated edition
of Matter and Mind) have begun to unravel this paradox.
They show that the concepts of modern physics such
as mass, force, or velocity are deeply rooted in the
experience of specific senses. Each of our senses is
a gateway into a different aspect of the world. This
insight sheds new light on the dilemmas of contemporary
science, such as the wave-particle duality in quantum
mechanics. By recognizing the essential role of sense
perception in scientific knowledge, this highly readable
book lays the foundations for a science that, while
maintaining its rigorous methodology, can begin to
incorporate the fullness of human experience into its domain.

Reclaiming the human sources of scientific thought, the
authors of this book restore the scientist to the world given
by science and celebrate the joyous marriage of sense
and thought.
