In writing thb book I have had rather conflicting aims. It was begun as a series of articles reporting observations on in nts, published in part in the journal Science, 1890-1892. In the prosecution of this purpose, however, I found it necessary constantly to enlarge my scope for the entertainment of a widened genetic view. This came to clearer consciousness in the treatment of the childs imitations, especially when I came to the relation of imitation to volition, as treated in my paper before the London Congress of Experimental Psychology in 1892. The further study of this subject brought what was to me such a revelation of the genetic function of imitation that I then determined under the inspiration, also, of the small group of writers lately treating the subject to work out a theory of mental development in the child, incorporating this new insight. This occupied my thought, and was made the topic of my graduate Seminar in psychology at Princeton, in 1893-1894, the result being the conviction that no consistent view of mental development in the individual could possibly be reached without a doctrine of the race development of consciousness, i.e. the great problem of the evolution of mind, I then fell to reading again the literature of biological evolution, with view to a possible synthesis of the current biological theory of organic adaptation with the doctrine of the infants development, as my previous work had led me to formulate it.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origin and development of consciousness in both humans and animals, in order to gain a better understanding of the nature of the mind. The author argues that the mind is not a fixed substance but rather a growing, evolving activity, and that by studying the development of consciousness in infants and animals, we can gain insights into the origins of human thought and behavior. The author also explores the relationship between individual and race development, arguing that the development of the individual mind recapitulates the development of the race mind. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of psychology, and it offers a unique perspective on the nature of the mind and its development.
