Philosopher and Management Coach Rittik Chandra's "The Spirit of Human Knowledge" discover a greater clearness and evidence of knowledge. It is evident to anyone who takes a survey of the objects of human knowledge, that they are either IDEAS actually imprinted on the senses; or else such as are perceived by attending to the passions and operations of the mind; or lastly, ideas formed by help of memory and imagination--either compounding, dividing, or barely representing those originally perceived in the aforesaid ways.
