Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the methods and principles of psychology; the study of mental processes. The author argues that psychology is a positive science that investigates matter of fact instead of laying down rules of criticism. It is distinct from the physical sciences because its aim is to investigate mental events, not their material accompaniments or antecedents. Psychology logically presupposes the existence of physical knowledge as its point of departure. The author argues that to understand the genesis of cognition, we must examine the series of successive stages through which the final outcome is attained. This book also examines various methods of data collection common to the discipline, including introspection, retrospection, and the observation of outward signs of what passes in the minds of others. The author concludes that there is no direct means of tracing the connection between a mental fact and the corresponding physiological fact, and that the continuity of the mechanical process debars us from regarding a volition as due to a movement, even of brain particles. Psychology, the author contends, is the science of the development of mind, which depends on two classes of data, the first referring to the successive phases of the product which is evolved, and the second referring to the nature and laws of the process through which it passes from one phase to another.
