Synopsis

The Science of Mind is a book written by John Bascom and originally published in 1881. It is a philosophical work that explores the nature of the human mind and its relationship to the physical world. Bascom argues that the mind is not simply a product of the brain, but rather a distinct entity that has its own unique qualities and abilities. He also discusses the role of consciousness in human experience and the ways in which it can be studied and understood. Throughout the book, Bascom draws on a range of philosophical and scientific theories to support his arguments, including the works of Immanuel Kant and Charles Darwin. The Science of Mind is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human mind and its place in the world, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of mind or the nature of consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Science of Mind

It has been a reproach to philosophy, generally and persistently put forward, that it makes no progress, that it lacks established elements, that it is a field of extravagant and contradictory theories. We do not accept these assertions in the unqualified way in which they are thrown out. So made, they are the result of ignorance and ungrounded contempt on the part of those who so easily utter them. So far, however, as these statements are true, they are a common reproach and misfortune, to be removed only by more patient, more protracted, more guarded inquiry. To scorn and reject philosophy as presented under its own, its meta-physical form, subject to its own conditions, is simply to deepen the difficulty, and postpone indefinitely as an answer to the most fundamental and central inquiries. If more than the usual number of mistakes have been made in this department, it is because more than the usual obstacles lie in the path of progress. These are not to be removed by discouragement, or by opening ways in other directions. All success to the students of physical science; but each of its field may have its triumphs, and the secrets of mind remain as unapproachable as hitherto.
