Synopsis
This intellectual exploration journeys through the complex and ever-changing landscape of the human mind. The author, a pioneering figure in the field of psychology, presents a detailed investigation into the nature of thought, arguing that our mental processes are not simply fleeting sensations but rather complex and richly varied affairs. Drawing upon his own introspections and the latest scientific research, the author challenges traditional views, proposing a new way of understanding how we think and perceive the world around us. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in delving into the extraordinary workings of the human mind.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Feeling and A ttention, published last year, I remarked that the system of psychology rests upon a threefold foundation: the doctrine of sensation and image, the elementary doctrine of feeling,and the doctrine of attention. This statement, which formed the basis of my whole discussion, was promptly challenged by reviewers. I was misled, they affirmed, by a sensationalists bias; I should have taken account of current experimental work upon the thoughtprocesses; I had no right to assume that all intellection is imaginal in character. I could not but acknowledge the essential justice of this criticism, although I could not either accept my critics point of view. I was, indeed, engaged in writing a brief defence of psychological sensationalism, when I received an invitation to deliver a series of lectures at the University of I llinois. Here was an opportunity, of which I gladly availed myself, to treat in some little detail of the recent experimental contributions to the psychology of thought. The present volume is the result.
