A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

We hear a good deal about the new psychology. It has to do largely with material phenomena, and proceeds by minute and even microscopic investigations in the physical laboratory, where only the expert student can work. Most of us can only hope to understand its results. Interesting as the details of these results often are, they do not seem likely in any important way to alter, so much as freshly to illustrate and reenforce, the great general considerations which have long approved themselves to thoughtful men. Thus the importance of habit is an ancient truism. The new psychology simply hints at the physiological system of registration, by which, on the physical side, habits grow. There is another kind of psychology, however, in respect to which every man carries his own laboratory and possesses all the data for the most fascinating investigation. We can watch and study the motions and processes of our own minds; we can examine the secrets of our consciousness; we can detect the play of moral and spiritual motives; we can become acquainted with ourselves. Here is the living material of human nature within us and around us. Who does not agree with Pope, that The proper study of mankind is man? It is a singular fact that this kind of study is comparatively rare.
