The Mind and Its Place in Nature (Classic Reprint) by C. D. Broad Pdf

Excerpt from The Mind and Its Place in Nature I shall no doubt be blamed by certain scientists, and, I am afraid, by some philosophers, for having taken serious account of the alleged facts which are investi gated by Psychical Researchers. I am wholly imponi tent about this. The scientists in question seem to me to confuse the Author of Nature with the Editor of Nature; or at any rate to suppose that there can be no productions of the former which would not be accepted for publication by the latter. And I see no reason to believe this. I am only too well aware how inadequate the book is to its rather ambitious title. Many subjects which ought to have been discussed are not touched upon; and those subjects which are discussed are not exhausted, even if the reader be so. But it is the best that I can do at present; and I hope that some parts of it, at any rate, may form starting-points for fruitful controversies among philosophers, psychologists, biologists and psychical researchers.

The Place of Mind in Nature and Intuition in Man by James Martineau Pdf

Excerpt from The Place of Mind in Nature and Intuition in Man: A Lecture That the universe we see around us was not always there, is so little disputed, that every philosophy and every faith undertakes to tell how it came to be. They all assume, as the theatre of their problem, the field of space where all objects lie, and the track of time where events have reached the Now. But into these they carry, to aid them in representing the origin of things, such interpreting conceptions as may be most familiar to the knowledge or fancy of their age: first, the flat of Almighty We'll, which bade the void be filled, so that the light kindled, and the waters swayed, and the earth stood fast beneath the vault of sky; next, when the sway of poetry and force had yielded to the inventive arts, the idea of a contrim'ng and adapting power, building and balancing the worlds to go smoothly and keep ti me together, and stocking them with self-moving and sensitive machines; and now, since physiology has got to the front, the analogy of the seed or germ.

A Theory of Mind (Classic Reprint) by John Lewis March Pdf

Excerpt from A Theory of Mind The nature of the mind has itself been the cause of this delay in the formation of an acceptable theory for it. There is but one method of direct observation of mental phenomena, viz., introspection. But this method turns out to be almost entirely fruitless. The mind is conscious of its own thoughts and of a considerable number of feelings, but of its workings - of its essence - ir is quite unconscious. We fall into a void as soon as we attempt to observe exactly what is and what goes on in it. There is Simply nothing to observe.

Phreno-Physiology; Human Nature by James Stanley Grimes Pdf

Excerpt from Phreno-Physiology; Human Nature: The Evolution of Mind and Its Instruments Three hundred years before Christ, Aristotle wrote the first treatise on the mind. As he knew nothing of the uses of the nerves or the brain, he was forced to draw all his knowledge of the mind from his own internal consciousness, which he assumed to be a spirit. His system and method, with unessential modifications, has been taught, under the names of psychology and mental philosophy, more than a thousand years, in all our higher institutions of learning. It is a science of the mind with the organs of the mind left out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lessons From Nature by St. George Mivart Pdf

Excerpt from Lessons From Nature: As Manifested in Mind and Matter It is too generally taken as denoting the assemblage of phenomena external to and apart from the human mind, which none the less is one of the most important objects which presents itself to our perception. Hence arises a necessary imperfection. But a worse evil follows. Nature, taken in this limited sense, is often made use of to explain that which has been tacitly excluded from it. Thus it is that the facts and processes of Reason are apt to be first ignored in order that they may be afterwards treated as if the mere phenomena of irrational nature were sufficient to explain them.

Nature Study by Sidney Sheddon Silcox Pdf

Excerpt from Nature Study: Its Psychology, Method and Matter The process of remaking experience is inseparably united with expression. This process is from the vague to the definite, from real to ideal. This latter expression is apt to be misinterpreted unless restated in other words. We mean by it here that education is a process by which the individual becomes more and more independent of material things as a stimulus to thought and in expressing thought. Thought and expression cannot be divorced. The power of expres sion, though conditioned by thought, is yet the means by which thought is made definite, and is thus communicated to others. The growth of mind is a process of analysis followed by synthesis. A child should not be allowed to analyze anything without following up that mental process by an act of synthesis, i. E., expression. The expression is the visible Sign by which we can value the thought, and it determines the nature and the extent of analysis of the material of study. This correlation of analysis and synthesis is so fundamentally important that the psychology of any subject is necessarily dependent upon it. A basket may be analyzed and if so, one should be made like it. Natural objects are analyzed, often the only possible synthesis is a drawing of the object, but this form of expression is possible to any great extent, only after eight years of age. To determine the extent of the analysis which may be made at any age, we have only to determine the power of expression possible at that age. A child is quite able to analyze, that is, to tear to pieces, mechanically, a delicate flower, but if he is unable to represent this analysis, either by a drawing, by a model, or by words, the analysis is a waste of time; nay, worse, it gives the destructive bent of the mind an impetus, which, unbalanced as it is by constructive ability, can lead only to mental dissipation.

The Self and Nature (Classic Reprint) by DeWitt Henry Parker Pdf

Excerpt from The Self and Nature The task of metaphysics, as I conceive it, is twofold. Accepting experience as a fragment of reality which is unimpeachably given to us, metaphysics undertakes first, to analyze and describe its omnipresent aspects and fundamental structure: its relation to the self, to the body, to nature, to knowledge; its changefulness; its spatiality; the spontaneity and causal determination of its elements; its relatedness. This is the more certain part of the study, where truth will reward any one who examines attentively and without prejudice, and who constructs with skill and fidelity the concepts which he uses to describe what he finds. But metaphysics has a second, a synthetic task: to project a total vision of the world. By following along the lines of the outward going relations of given experience, the philosopher seeks to discover the whole of which it is a part. As necessary materials for this purpose, he has to use the larger facts and broader generalizations of science, interpreting them, however, in the light of his analysis of experience. Hence, despite this dependence, metaphysics differs fundamentally from science in being radically empirical and critical, and in passing from the part to the whole.

Life in Mind Conduct by Henry Maudsley Pdf

Excerpt from Life in Mind Conduct: Studies of Organic in Human Nature So brief is the record of historical time in comparison with unrecorded and forgotten time, so fabulous and false for the most part most so-called histories, that there are no sound data on which to ground a true knowledge of the remote human past. If men were ever as wise then as they are now, it is plain that we should not know it. Nor are the data adequate to warrant a safe prediction of the future fortunes of humanity on earth. Whether its past career has been a succession of alternating developments and degenera tions, or a series of progresses in one place alternating with regresses elsewhere, yet with a gradual advance on the whole, even that is uncertain. To modern optimism, proud of present and sure of future human progress, Plato's fanciful notion Of recurring evolutions and dissolutions of the same state of things in periodical revolutions of time will be wholly unwelcome.

Philosophy of Mind by George Trumbull Ladd Pdf

Excerpt from Philosophy of Mind: An Essay in the Metaphysics of Psychology The nature of psychology, however, and the nature of philosophy, and especially the nature of the relations existing between the two, are such as to make it undesirable, if not impossible, to consider in one book all the metaphysical prob lems which this empirical science suggests. Indeed, the whole sphere of philosophical studv scarcely does more than this. A somewhat but not wholly arbitrary selection of problems had, therefore, to be made; and their detailed dis cassion was then brought under the one title, Philosophy of Mind. The reasons for the selection are made sufficiently clear in the course of the discussion itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind (Classic Reprint) by Dugald Stewart Pdf

Excerpt from Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind I cannot help taking this opportunity of remarking, on the other hand, that if physical inquirers should think of again employing them selves in speculations abnut the nature of matter, instead of attempting to ascertain its sensible properties and laws, (and of late there seems to be such a tendency among some of the followers of Boscovich, ) they will soon involve themselves in an inextricable labyrinth, and the first principles of hysics will be rendered as mysterious and chimerical, as the pneumatoihgy of the schoolmen. The little pregress which has hitherto been made in the philosophy of mind, will not appear surprising to those who have attended to the history of natural knowledge.
