Synopsis

Explore the science behind how we think, feel, and act. This volume presents a practical introduction to psychology, connecting mental life to the nervous system. It offers clear explanations of how nerves work, how senses shape our ideas, and how memory, imagination, and insight influence everyday choices.

This edition collects lectures that bridge physiology and psychology, aiming to make the science useful for students and curious readers alike. The author argues for psychology as a practical guide to understanding human nature across life’s stages and in all relations, from health to illness and from childhood to age.


  • Learn how the nervous system is organized, including the roles of ganglionic and fibrous tissue.

  • See how senses, perception, and thoughts connect, with insight described as a key mental operation.

  • Understand how memory, recollection, and the order of thought develop and change with experience.

  • Discover distinctions between sensation and emotion, and how appetites and affections drive behavior.



Ideal for readers of introductory psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind who want a clear, accessible foundation in how mind and body interact.
