Synopsis

Explore how the mind reasons, perceives, and learns in a foundational work that maps conscious thought from simple impressions to complex reasoning. This volume extends Herbert Spencer’s examination of psychology, focusing on how we distinguish intellectual from emotional states and how careful analysis clarifies the workings of the mind.

Delving into the structure of thought, the book explains how conscious reasoning, especially quantitative reasoning, unfolds from complex to simpler components. It also examines how propositions are formed, tested, and distinguished as simple or complex, with attention to how language and perception shape our understanding. The discussion connects perception, cognition, and the relation between subject and object, offering a rigorous framework for understanding mind and experience.

• Clear explanation of conscious versus automatic reasoning and how quantitative reasoning is analyzed.


• Insights into how complex propositions can mislead when tacit assumptions go unnoticed.


• Discussion of perception, cognition, and the interplay between what is presented and what is imagined.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, psychology, and the history of ideas who seek a structured, century-spanning view of how mind and matter are linked through analysis.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of this second volume, as of the first volume, it may be
said that if is more a new work than a new edition. The
only one of ifs several divisions which retins substan-
tially its original shape, is Part VI., Special Analysis.
this, such changes of sigaificance as wilI be round»
arisen by the addition of pp 302--305, showing that the
subject-matter of Logic is objective, and by the farther
developments given to the chapters on "The Perception of
Body as Presenting Statical Attributes," "The Perception
of Space," and "The Perception of Motion,"--developments
by which the doctrine set forth in those chapters, bas been
more fully harmonised with the Doctrine of Evolution
Part VIII., General ±nalysis, though it contains fragments
of the Part which bore that title in the First Edition is
mainly new in substance and wholly new in organization ;
and of Part IX., Corollaries, there was nothing answering
in the First Edition.
