Product Description

Product Description

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.

Most wide ranging book about human psychology 9 Jun 1999
By Georg Strøm - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is probably the most wide ranging and best book ever written about human psychology. Even though it is more than 100 years old, it still gives the best description of the width and range of human thinking and activities.

Roughly speaking, there are two main areas in psychology:

1. The clinical psychology, psychoanalysis and treatment. That area was to a large part shaped by Freud.

2. The cognitive psychology which describes how we think and experience the world. That area was founded by William James, and this book is his main work

The book was written before the separation of psychological science, philosophy and discussions about ethics and human values. It was also written before much of the cognitive psychology degenerated into investigations of white mice running through mazes. It can therefore give a wide ranging and consistent wiev of our thinking and experience.
