Synopsis
William James'' The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is an epic work in the field of psychology and one of the most well known books of the discipline. James was a philosopher and psychologist who spent most of his adult life employed by Harvard University, where he developed and taught some of the most influential psychological theories of the time.
The book opens with an analysis of the functions of the brain and a discussion of the scope of psychology. From there, James'' focus is primarily on the localization of functions within the brain, or how specific parts of the brain act as neural centres for the human body''s senses. James relies on a comparative method in which humans are compared to other animals, and the importance of instincts in shaping the actions of man are discussed in detail.
The primary value in reading the work of William James is to absorb the author''s ability to contextualize psychology. Much of what is known about psychology today is a direct result of the foundation laid by James. If one wants truly to understand the present, it is important to understand the past.
The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is rightly considered a masterpiece. For the experienced student of psychology, this book is an absolute must-read. It is a work that begs to be meditated upon and will surely ruminate in your consciousness long after you turn the last page. A true classic.

Présentation de l'éditeur
After inner perception, outer perception !T he next three chapters will treat of the processes by which we cognize at all times the present world of space and the material things which it contains. And first, of the process called Sensation. SENSATIOIJ AND PERCEPTION DISTINGUISHED. The words Sensation and Perception do not carry very definitely discriminated meanings in popular speech, and in Psychology also their meanings run into each other. Both of them name processes in which we cognize an objective world; both (under normal conditions) need the stimulation of incoming nerves ere they can occur ;P erception always involves Sensation as a portion of itself ;and Sensation in turn never takes place in adult life without Perception also being there. They are therefore names for different cognitive functions, not for different sorts of mental fact. The nearer the object cognized comes to being a simple quality like hot, cold, red, noise, pain, apprehended irrelatively to other things, the more the state of mind approaches pure sensation. The fuller of relations the object is, on the contrary ;the more it is something classed, located, measured, compared, assigned to a function, etc., etc.; the more unreservedly do we call the state of mind a perception, and the relatively smaller is the part in it which sensation plays.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the human mind, exploring the relationship between our thoughts and feelings and the physical workings of the brain. Drawing upon scientific observations and experiments, the author challenges traditional theories of psychology and presents a unique perspective on how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Building upon the work of earlier thinkers like Herbart and Hume, the author probes the foundations of consciousness, questioning the very nature of the soul and the role of the brain in shaping our mental lives. Through detailed analysis of human and animal behavior, the author investigates how our brains process information, develop habits, and form memories. This exploration leads to a nuanced understanding of the complexities of attention, perception, and self-awareness. The author's clear and engaging prose invites the reader into a rich intellectual landscape, prompting critical thought about the intricate workings of the mind and its place in the wider world. By highlighting the limitations of purely mechanical explanations of consciousness, this book offers a compelling argument for the importance of acknowledging the unique power and complexity of the human mind. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
