Présentation de l'éditeur
Professor Lindner for the production of this book may at the same time serve as reasons for its translation into English. That the book is full of vitality, having a rich, interesting content, and offering a satisfactory explanation of those things which others merely affirm, no one can doubt who reads it. But in addition to these general considerations, there are other reasons why this book is particularly needed in this country. American teachers have certainly demonstrated their faith in psychology as the only sure basis for a sound pedagogical practice, but thus far experience seems to have revealed to them but little intimate relation between the two. Both the faith and the experience of these teachers are right. Psychology certainly is the basis of true teaching, and most current psychologies do fail to reveal what a study of mind is able to do for the training of mind. The reasons for the latter fact are not far to seek. In large degree, the current psychologies are abstract, rationalistic manuals drawn primarily from the Scotch or other metaphysicians, and even when well written and fairly illustrated, they yet fail to excite any general vital interest in the subject; because, starting from a priori rationalistic principles, they fail to touch the experience of the student. Lindner, on the contrary, begins with experience and never gets away from it. Every page is a direct incitation to introspection. Self-examination seems to come spontaneously to the reader.
