Synopsis

Explore how memory, imagination, and inner forces shape our thoughts and actions. This edition examines how images arise, persist, and fade, and how energy, rhythm, and polarity govern our mental life.

The text blends psychology with philosophy to explain how impressions become memories, how imagination interacts with recall, and how the mind uses energy to shape experience. It presents a theory of the “Unit of Force” that underpins how we act, decide, and influence the world around us. Expect clear definitions, practical ideas for understanding behavior, and a structured look at the inner processes behind everyday thought.

• How memory and imagination are linked as specialized forms of imagery


• How energy, rhythm, and polarity influence what we remember and forget


• Ways the mind consolidates experiences, assigns perspective, and predicts the future


• Concepts you can apply to better understand behavior and decision making

Ideal for readers curious about the inner workings of mind and behavior, and for those studying early 20th‑century approaches to psychology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There will be many critiques written on this book, but we are bound to write the first; afterward the world may say what it will. This text book is based on a first principle and logically reasoned out. Were its foundation good and structure bad, it would be like a house of wood on a base of stone easily burned by fire. Were its foundation bad and its structure good, it would be like a granite fort standing on wooden piles sure sooner or later to fall by its own weight. Now whatever the learned may say hereafter (and the learned will most surely investigate this book), they cannot undermine its foundation or destroy its structure. Call this foundation (principle) an hypothesis, if you choose, even a Spencer could never disprove it. Should some sage of the Twentieth Century declare that polarity is not a first principle, we would most sincerely ask him if by first he means precedence as regards others, or if by first he means the most important. Whichever he means, even though will (desire) may possibly be the cause of causes, we defy him to show how polarity can be wrenched from that same primeval sovereign will when it projects itself into objectivity; more, we defy him to detach that same almighty will from objectivity. Therefore, for all psychology, for all practice in living, for all experiment in activities in time and space, polarity is the first principle, and no doctor in philosophy can prove it otherwise. Being then on a foundation unassailable, the base upon which this book is built is assured. As to the structure, the authors having justified themselves as to the two methods of dealing with energy; first as constant, second as apparently transferable; no flaw can be found in the logic from start to finish.
