Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of cause and effect, and the fundamental question of human agency. Challenging prevailing philosophical thought of the time, the author argues that human beings are not merely passive recipients of external forces, but rather, active creators of the world around them. Through a meticulous examination of the mindââ â¢s abilities ââ â knowledge, feeling, and volition ââ â the author dismantles the notion that our actions are predetermined or solely dictated by external factors. Instead, he asserts that we possess a unique power of will, a capacity to exert effort and shape the future, even in the realm of our own internal moral character. Exploring the intricate relationship between the mind and the material world, the author meticulously explores the nature of matter, instinct, and reason, ultimately advocating for the primacy of the spiritual over the material. By meticulously examining the processes of will, choice, and habit formation, the author offers a compelling framework for understanding the power of self-creation within the moral sphere. This book's exploration of the mind's power as a creative force continues to offer a profound and illuminating perspective on human agency and our capacity to shape our own destiny.
