Présentation de l'éditeur
The orphaned son of an Anglican clergyman, David Hartley (1705–57) was originally destined for holy orders. Declining to subscribe to the Thirty-Nine Articles, he turned to medicine and science yet remained a religious believer. This, his most significant work, provides a rigorous analysis of human nature, blending philosophy, psychology and theology. First published in two volumes in 1749, Observations on Man is notable for being based on the doctrine of the association of ideas. It greatly influenced scientists, theologians, social reformers and poets: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who named his eldest son after Hartley, had his portrait painted while holding a copy. In Volume 1, Hartley utilises Newtonian science in his observations. He presents a theory of 'vibrations', explaining how the elements of the nerves and brain interact as a result of stimulation, creating 'associations' and emotions.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between the human body and mind, exploring the fascinating realm of sensations, ideas, and the nature of the soul. The author, a keen observer of human nature, delves into the mechanisms of perception and the influence of external stimuli on our inner world. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century scientific and philosophical thought, the text engages with contemporary theories of vibrations and associations, drawing inspiration from renowned figures such as Sir Isaac Newton and John Locke. The author proposes a thought-provoking hypothesis, suggesting that sensations and ideas arise from the vibrations of minute particles within the nervous system. This intricate dance of vibrations, coupled with the association of ideas, forms the foundation of our understanding, emotions, memory, and imagination. The book delves into profound themes such as free will, the nature of reality, and the existence of God. The author's insights into the human experience offer a compelling lens through which to examine our own consciousness and the world around us, ultimately leading us to a deeper understanding of the intricate tapestry that connects the physical and the mental.
