Synopsis

Discover the science of mental life and how our thoughts and feelings arise from the brain.

This classic work presents psychology as a rigorous natural science. It explains what psychology studies—feelings, desires, cognitions, and decisions—and how these phenomena relate to physical brain states. Written from a positivist perspective, it guides readers through the scope of psychology, its methods, and the debates that shape the field. The book blends descriptive detail with thoughtful questions about mind, self, and the conditions that make mental life possible.

• Foundational ideas about the scope and methods of psychology


• Clear discussions of brain function, perception, memory, attention, and the stream of thought


• Guidance on how to study psychology with introspection and experiment


• Context for how mind and brain interact, and how science treats mental data

Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful introduction to psychology’s big questions and its place in the science of human life.
