How does a mind locked in a skull come to know the world outside it? This anonymous inquiry follows the senses from the qualities of matter to the workings of perception and thought. A thoughtful period study at the meeting of physiology and philosophy. Trace the path from the fingertip to the idea.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
