We do not see the world as it is. We see only our model of it. For over two millennia, philosophers have described this condition: Plato's shadows on the cave wall, Kant's veil of phenomena, Spinoza's confused imagination. But why are we trapped behind this perceptual barrier? The answer is not metaphysical mystery, but evolutionary necessity. Direct perception works beautifully for bacteria and simple organisms-they respond immediately to the world without models, without prediction, without the illusion of a separate self.

Every age has its loud philosophers. In 1869 a young Prussian named Eduard von Hartmann published a thousand-page book about an invisible force he called the Unconscious—a force, he claimed, that guided everything from the growth of plants to the rise and fall of civilizations. The book sold out. It went through eleven editions in his lifetime. Educated Germans agreed that something profound had been said. Then, slowly, almost everyone forgot it. This book is not a portrait of Eduard von Hartmann.
