A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction Meaning of the Doctrine. A rising sometimes out of a prion philosophy, and at other times out of naive observations on actual life, there has for a long time existed the notion that mental power was a sort of entity which could be turned in any direction, to the solution of any problem. This is indicated by such phrases as, He is a man of ability, or, He has had good mental training, or, He was well disciplined in college, or He has great intellectual power, or He is a man of deep insight, or unusual foresight. In all these classes there is no specification of the lines in which these abilities are sharp or effective, no peculiar specification being considered in the general statement. The same is commonly heard in describing people in other realms of expression, as, He is a man of fine feeling, or He is very sensitive, or He is very appreciative or full of sentiment; or still again in another general field, He is a man of strong will, or of great force. From these more general affirmations concerning human character, there are numerous gradations toward the specific. For example, He is a good reasoner, an acute thinker, a shrewd observer, or He is a lover of the beautiful, or is fond of history, or has great courage. In all these it will be noticed that there is no particular line in which these capacities are said to be manifested. The question is not put: In what subjects is he an acute thinker, or of what sort of beautiful thing is he a lover, or in what phases of life is he courageous, e. g, in fighting, or in facing an audience or a woman; or of what sort of history is he fond, or in what lines is he a good observer.
