Synopsis:

The world of experience, the Phenomenals, consists of elementless relations that defy definitions. Our phenomenal picture of the world thus emerges as a complex of 'relations as such'. In criticising the logicians' naive hope of building a purely logical representation of the world, Josephine Pasternak proposes a categorical approach to cognition that avoids the pitfalls of classical and modern logic. Like her brother Boris Pasternak, Josephine Pasternak draws up a philosophical and poetic vision of the world. "It is a real philosophical thought" Dame Iris Murdoch writes in her preface, and continues "deep and stirring, and presented with authority and elegance. I am so glad that it will be published."
