The work delves into the nature of knowledge and the principles that underpin it, exploring complex ideas about time, perception, and reality. Philip examines how knowledge is constructed through dynamic activity, and he critiques existing philosophical paradigms, particularly the sensationalist view that knowledge arises solely from sensory experience. At the start of the work, the author reflects on the current state of civilization, expressing concern about humanity's direction amidst the chaos of modern life. He emphasizes the importance of a clear understanding of knowledge's nature to navigate these turbulent times, underscoring the need for principles that allow for meaningful thought and action. Philip sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of these ideas, beginning with the concept of time and its measurement, laying a philosophical foundation for investigating how human beings come to understand the world and themselves.
