Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Life and Mind The present volume represents all the remaining manuscript for Problems of Life and Mind so far as it was left by the Author in a state that he would have allowed to be fit for publication. Much of it was intended to be rewritten, and the whole, if it had undergone his revision, would have received that alternate condensation and expansion sure to be needed in a work which has been of many years' growth, and which treats of a continually growing subject. Some repetitions would have been avoided, many arguments would have been better nourished with illustration, and in the Third Problem there would doubtless have been a more evident order in the succession of chapters, the actual arrangement being partly the result of conjecture. The Fourth Problem, of which the later pages were written hardly more than three weeks before the Author's death, is but a fragment it will perhaps not be felt the less worthy of attention by those readers who have followed his previous works with interest and sympathy. In correcting the proof-sheets of this volume the Editor has been generously aided by Dr. Michael F oster and Mr. James Sully.

By a similar procedure the mechanism of the great horologe of the heavens is explained when the mathemat ical relations of the planetary masses are analyzed, and the synthesis is effected by comparison of these concep tions with the Observed facts. -we cannot analyze or reconstruct the heavens, except in symbols; but if these symbols accurately represent observations, they are their rational equivalents (as coins are the social equivalents Of in reconstructing them we are rationally re constructing the heavens from our analysis. The law of inverse squares that potent symbol could never have been an Observation; but it is an ideal construction from very precise Observations, and is found to express them with sufficient accuracy 'to be accepted as their rational equivalent.

Download or read book The Evolution of Morality written by Richard Joyce and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral thinking pervades our practical lives, but where did this way of thinking come from, and what purpose does it serve? Is it to be explained by environmental pressures on our ancestors a million years ago, or is it a cultural invention of more recent origin? In The Evolution of Morality, Richard Joyce takes up these controversial questions, finding that the evidence supports an innate basis to human morality. As a moral philosopher, Joyce is interested in whether any implications follow from this hypothesis. Might the fact that the human brain has been biologically prepared by natural selection to engage in moral judgment serve in some sense to vindicate this way of thinking—staving off the threat of moral skepticism, or even undergirding some version of moral realism? Or if morality has an adaptive explanation in genetic terms—if it is, as Joyce writes, "just something that helped our ancestors make more babies"—might such an explanation actually undermine morality's central role in our lives? He carefully examines both the evolutionary "vindication of morality" and the evolutionary "debunking of morality," considering the skeptical view more seriously than have others who have treated the subject. Interdisciplinary and combining the latest results from the empirical sciences with philosophical discussion, The Evolution of Morality is one of the few books in this area written from the perspective of moral philosophy. Concise and without technical jargon, the arguments are rigorous but accessible to readers from different academic backgrounds. Joyce discusses complex issues in plain language while advocating subtle and sometimes radical views. The Evolution of Morality lays the philosophical foundations for further research into the biological understanding of human morality.

Download or read book The Life of Mind Classic Reprint written by E. Jordan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mind The second principle is, that mind always acts as a whole or as a unity, and is known only as such. This means that whenever the mind acts it is always the whole mindthat acts and never a mere part of it. Thus when I see a tree, my whole mind is centered upon the tree and I am not seeing the tree with only a part Of my mind. When I think Of an Object, that Object is the point around which my mind as a whole is organized. The'n mind can be defined as the active unity which manifests itself in and comprehends the organization of objects in our world. And by Objects we mean primarily those things which we touch and handle and eat and sell in our cultural and practical relations, and not Objects which are supposed by some mystery to be only in or out of the mind and therefore unreal.

Download or read book Status of the Mind Problem Classic Reprint written by Lester Frank Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Status of the Mind Problem In predicating the dependence of mind and body, one of the first pre cautions to be taken is that against predicating their identity. That every mental fact corresponds to a physiological fact as its antecedent, or at least its necessary concomitant, is now a generally accepted truth. There is not a psychologist nor a physiologist who holds that the men tal fact and the physiological fact are one and the same thing. The question as to the exact nature of the connection between these two facts may be regarded as the leading problem of psychology to-day. It is therefore fitting that I should offer a few thoughts on this problem. We are constantly hearing about the mystery of mind, and when we inquire closely what this means we usually find that it is just this question of the real relation of mind to body. All admit that there is no resemblance between mind and body, and it is the over whelming consensus of opinion that the connection between them is utterly inexplicable. I shall not refer to those authors who look upon the body as something essentially base, and despise matter. I shall confine myself to an exposition of the views of men who have devoted their lives to the study of matter, either in the inorganic world or as organized in the bodies of living organisms, and who have taught us the dignity and purity, I had almost said, the divinity, of the material world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Problems of Life An attempt is made in the following pages to discuss some of the Problems of Life and Mind that exercise the brains and wring the hearts of thoughtful people. These problems will be studied with the aid of the light thrown upon them by Theosophy, that Divine Wisdom which enlightens us just so far as we are able to receive it. There is ho idea in my mind so ambitious as that of solving these problems: I only seek to offer to my fellow-students some thoughts that have been helpful to myself and may also be serviceable to others. Theosophy, from its very nature, cannot form a new religion, a new church, or even a sect separate and apart.

Download or read book Coherence in Thought and Action written by Paul Thagard and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-07-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an essay on how people make sense of each other and the world they live in. Making sense is the activity of fitting something puzzling into a coherent pattern of mental representations that include concepts, beliefs, goals, and actions. Paul Thagard proposes a general theory of coherence as the satisfaction of multiple interacting constraints, and discusses the theory's numerous psychological and philosophical applications. Much of human cognition can be understood in terms of coherence as constraint satisfaction, and many of the central problems of philosophy can be given coherence-based solutions. Thagard shows how coherence can help to unify psychology and philosophy, particularly when addressing questions of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. He also shows how coherence can integrate cognition and emotion.

Download or read book History and Power of Mind written by Richard Ingalese and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great student of the Science of Mind, Richard Ingalese frequently lectured on New Thought and topics of mental therapeutics. The History and Power of Mind is a collection of many of his lectures and articles, first published in 1902, with Ingalese's own annotations and expansions. Difficult subjects to wrangle, from self-control to hypnotism to self-healing, were not a problem for the articulate and charismatic Ingalese, who brings insight and intelligence to esoteric ideas and puts them in a practical and applicable context that demystifies mental and psychic phenomena for the intellectual reader curious about the mind, how it works, and what it can do. American lawyer RICHARD INGALESE (b. 1854) was a self-taught alchemist and proponent of New Thought. He claimed to have confected the true Philosopher's Stone, which confers immortality and turns common metals into gold, and disappeared, along with his wife, a psychic and healer, sometime in the early 20th century. Before their disappearance, Ingalese authored several articles and books, including Fragments of Truth (1921), Astrology and Health (1927), and Cosmogony and Evolution (1907).
Download or read book The Book of Life written by Upton Sinclair and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Life: Mind and Body The writer of this book has been in this world some forty two years. That may not seem long to some, but it is long enough to have made many painful mistakes, and to have learned much from them. Looking about him, he sees others making these same mistakes, suffering for lack of that same knowledge which he has so painfully acquired. This being the case, it seems a friendly act to offer his knowledge, minus the blunders and the pain. There come to the writer literally thousands of letters every year, asking him questions, some of them of the strangest. A man is dying of cancer, and do I think it can be cured by a fast? A man is unable to make his wife happy, and can I tell him what is the matter with women? A man has invested his savings in mining stock, and can I tell him what to do about it? A man works in a sweatshop, and has only a little time for self-improvement, and will I tell him what books he ought to read? Many such questions every day make one aware of a vast mass of people, earnest, hungry for happiness, and groping as if in a fog. The things they most need to know they are not taught in the schools, nor in the newspapers they read, nor in the church they attend. Of these agencies, the first is not entirely competent, the second is not entirely honest, and the third is not entirely up to date. Nor is there anywhere a book in which the efiort has been made to give to everyday human beings the everyday informa tion they need for the successful living of their lives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter, Life, Mind: Their Essence, Phenomena, and Relations, Examined With Reference to the Nature of Man, and the Problem of His Destiny This treatise is given to the public with the hope that it may serve, to some extent, as a check to the advancing tide Materialism, and define, with some precision, the ground Vitalists should occupy in this great debate. Believing that the things and facts of nature are their own best interpreters, we have labored to shun the metaphysical aspects of the subject, and allow them to speak for themselves and for truth. If the "new philosophy" is a true solution of the problems presented by the universe, then in matter itself, and in matter alone, should be found an explanation of the cause and origin of all phenomena, especially of such as are vital and intellectual in their character. Having doubts on this subject, we have made a special examination of all the kinds of matter which enter organic bodies and tested their properties, for the purpose of detecting in them the presence of a vital force or any capacity to work themselves into living organisms; and the conclusion reached is, that matter is not, never was, and never can be, till the constitution of nature is changed, the cause of vital phenomena.
