Baer explores the idea that our personal feelings are undeniable facts that have been systematically excluded from the basic sciences, thereby leaving us with a schizophrenic division between objective materialism and spiritual idealism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCognitive Action Theory (CAT) achieves this unification by recognizing that the observer's existence is the foundational premise underlying all scientific inquiry. It develops as an event-oriented physical theory in which the first-person observer is central. By analyzing the methods through which we human observers gain knowledge and create the belief systems within which our experiences are explained, we discover a fundamental truth: all systems are obser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrologue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART I - The event-oriented world view\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
