Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Theories of Elementary Cognition From Alcmaeon to Aristotle As regards scientific method, it was not to be expected that it could exist at a period when logic - deductive and induc tive - was as yet unknown, and when the provinces of the various departments of thinking had as yet no boundaries assigned to them. As regards positive knowledge, again, the disadvantages under which the Greek psychologists laboured were insuperable. Pure mathematics had advanced to an important degree Of attainment, but empirical sciences, e.g. Physics and physiology, were in their infancy. Even Aristotle, like his predecessors, with whom he so Often places himself in controversy, possessed only the scantiest means of physical observation. In fact, Observation did not go beyond what could be accomplished by the naked eye. Physical experiments only of the most rudimentary kind were possible at a time when, of all our varied mathe matical and physical implements, inquirers had to content themselves with what they could achieve by the aid of the rule and the compasses. 'chemical analysis, correct measurements and weights, and a thorough application of mathematics to physics were unknown. The attractive force of matter, the law Of gravitation, electrical phenomena, the conditions of chemical combination, pressure Of air and its effects, the nature of light, heat, combustion, &c., in short all the facts on which the physical theories of modern science are based, were wholly, or almost wholly, undiscovered In their attempts at psychology under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at if they met with but little success. They had, for example. To arrive at. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Tragic Pathos written by Dana LaCourse Munteanu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have often focused on understanding Aristotle's poetic theory, and particularly the concept of catharsis in the Poetics, as a response to Plato's critique of pity in the Republic. However, this book shows that, while Greek thinkers all acknowledge pity and some form of fear as responses to tragedy, each assumes for the two emotions a different purpose, mode of presentation and, to a degree, understanding. This book reassesses expressions of the emotions within different tragedies and explores emotional responses to and discussions of the tragedies by contemporary philosophers, providing insights into the ethical and social implications of the emotions.

Download or read book Self Intellection and its Epistemological Origins in Ancient Greek Thought written by Ian M. Crystal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the intellect or the intellectual faculty be its own object of thought, or can it not think or apprehend itself? This book explores the ancient treatments of the question of self-intellection - an important theme in ancient epistemology and of considerable interest to later philosophical thought. The manner in which the ancients dealt with the intellect apprehending itself, took them into both the metaphysical and epistemological domains with reflections on questions of thinking, identity and causality. Ian Crystal traces the origins from which the concept of self-intellection springs, by examining Plato's account of the epistemic subject and the emergence of self-intellection through the Aristotelian account, before the final part of the book explores the problem of how the intellect apprehends itself, and its resolution including Plotinus' reformulation and the dilemma raised by Sextus Empiricus. Crystal concludes that Plotinus recasts the metaphysical structures of Plato and Aristotle in such a way that he casts the concept of self-intellection in an entirely new light and offers a solution to the problem.

Book excerpt: With over 350 illustrations, this impressive volume traces the rich history of ideas about the functioning of the brain from its roots in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome through the centuries into relatively modern times. In contrast to biographically oriented accounts, this book is unique in its emphasis on the functions of the brain and how they came to be associated with specific brain regions and systems. Among the topics explored are vision, hearing, pain, motor control, sleep, memory, speech, and various other facets of intellect. The emphasis throughout is on presenting material in a very readable way, while describing with scholarly acumen the historical evolution of the field in all its amazing wealth and detail. From the opening introductory chapters to the concluding look at treatments and therapies, this monumental work will captivate readers from cover to cover. It will be valued as both an historical reference and as an exciting tale of scientificdiscovery. It is bound to attract a wide readership among students and professionals in the neural sciences as well as general readers interested in the history of science and medicine.
