This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Phrenology, Delivered in the University of Paris, 1836 Aristotle, the disciple of Plato, appeared on the stage; he declares that ideas, ad mitted by his master. Are anterior to all human knowledge, but not innate; they are introduced through the medium of the senses, and become graven on the under standing, which the Grecian philosopher compares to a waxen tablet untouched by the stylus, or to a sheet of blank paper. This theory, though seemingly simple, was not implicitly received. Aristotle himself was compelled to admit the existence of passions, of torment derived from the ex ternal world, and deranging the regularity of impressions made on his blank surface. The Platonics were not content with this; they perceived that men act differently un der the influence of the same ideas; hence, even at this remote period. Was seen the. Ne cessity of admitting something concealed. Something above ideas, some innate dispo sition to employ ideas in a determinate manner. This remark was just; but to what did it lead? Where was this innate disposition placed? By the followers of Plato, in the mind, vaguely; but according to Aristotle, in the mind as seated in the brain. Thus, gentlemen, we arrive at the origin of theories on sentiments and instincts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A cultural history of chess players written by John Sharples and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inquiry concerns the cultural history of the chess-player. It takes as its premise the idea that the chess-player has become a fragmented collection of images, underpinned by challenges to, and confirmations of, chess’s status as an intellectually-superior and socially-useful game, particularly since the medieval period. Yet, the chess-player is an understudied figure. No previous work has shone a light on the chess-player itself. Increasingly, chess-histories have retreated into tidy consensus. This work aspires to a novel reading of the figure as both a flickering beacon of reason and a sign of monstrosity. To this end, this book, utilising a wide range of sources, including newspapers, periodicals, detective novels, science-fiction, and comic-books, is underpinned by the idea that the chess-player is a pluralistic subject used to articulate a number of anxieties pertaining to themes of mind, machine, and monster.

Download or read book Franz Joseph Gall written by Stanley Finger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) was always a controversial figure, as was his doctrine, later called phrenology. Although often portrayed as a discredited buffoon, who believed he could assess a person's strengths and weaknesses by measuring cranial bumps, he was, in fact, a serious physician-scientist, who strove to answer timely questions about the mind, brain, and behavior. In many ways a remarkable visionary, his seminal ideas would become tenets of modern behavioral neuroscience. Among other things, he was the first scientist to promote publicly the idea of specialized cortical areas for diverse higher functions, while taking metaphysics out of his new science of mind. Moreover, although he obviously placed too much emphasis on "tell-tale" skull features (mistakenly believing that the cranium faithfully reflects the features of underlying brain areas), he fully understood the strength of "convergent operations," conducting neuroanatomical, developmental, cross-species, gender-comparison, and brain-damage studies on both humans and animals in his attempts to unravel the mysteries of brain organization. Rather than looking upon Gall's "organology" as one of science's great mistakes, this book provides a fresh look at the man and his doctrine. The authors delve into his motives, what was known about the brain during the 1790s, and the cultural demands of his time. Gall is rightfully presented as an early-19th-century biologist, anthropologist, philosopher, and physician with an inquisitive mind and a challenging agenda--namely, how to account for species and individual differences in behavior. In this well-researched book, readers learn why, starting as a young physician in Vienna and continuing his life's work in Paris, he chose to study the mind and the brain, why he employed his various methods, why he relied so heavily on cranial features, and why he wrote what he did in his books. Frequently using Gall's own words, they show his impact in various domains, including his approach to the insane and criminals, before concluding with his final illness and more lasting legacy.
