Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... part I. the understanding. the understanding, taken in the most comprehensive sense, is the faculty of knowing and conceiving. It includes understanding proper,16 the apprehending or empirical faculty; reason, the intuitive faculty; and imagination, the conceptive faculty. By it we observe, remember, know, imagine, judge, and reason. We observe, when we feel, discern, perceive, or are conscious of anything. We imagine, when we conceive or construct. Hence the chief branches of the intellectual faculty are--sensation, intuition, perception, consciousness; memory, knowledge; imagination, judgment, reasoning, and method. Before these must be placed the intellectual capacity, that is, the sensibility. By sensation, intuition, perception, consciousness, and memory, we make and keep up our acquaintance with the world of things; by imagination, we contemplate and combine things conceivable, whether they have a place in the real world or not; by judgment, we apprehend the relations of things, real or problematical; and by reasoning we arrive at conclusions. In sensation, intuition, perception, consciousness, and judgment, the understanding is nearly alone; in memory, the will comes into play; in imagination, reasoning, and method, we verge on the peculiar field of power; in sense, we are aware of effects; in intuition, we descry causes, qualities, relations; in perception, we take note of external things; in consciousness, we are cognisant of ourselves and our movements, the internal things; in imagination, we conceive all manner of things; in judgment, we apprehend relations; in reasoning, we arrive at consequences; in method, we are concerned with the system of nature and art. To complete the sources of our knowledge of things, we must add opinion and faith. Opinion i...

Download or read book The Human Mind written by Edward John Hamilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward John Hamilton's The Human Mind: A Treatise in Mental Philosophy is one man's personal philosophy of a metaphysical system and human thought. Hamilton's work was written with the goal of being used as a philosophy textbook. The Human Mind is a massive volume that spans over 700 pages and deals with a wide range of topics. The book begins with Hamilton offering a definition of mental philosophy, which is an important place to start and helps to provide the reader with the necessary context from which to approach the subject. The author tackles a wide range of subjects throughout the book, mostly focused on the relationship between the mind and the physical body and human brain. Included chapters separately discuss human intellect, the objectivity of thought, human senses, association and suggestion, memory, the rational faculty, and probable reasoning, among many more topics. Each chapter is written so as to stand alone from the others, however the reader will likely find it necessary to read the complete work in order to truly grasp the author's philosophy. The Human Mind is an impressive work of modern philosophy. Hamilton is clearly a student of philosophy, as his work frequently references many of the great philosophical works of the past. Despite the size of the volume, Hamilton's style and the formatting of the book into short chapters make this an easily readable text. Readers interested in philosophy of mind will find The Human Mind: A Treatise in Mental Philosophy to be a pleasant read. While Edward Hamilton is not remembered as a great philosopher, the author has pieced together an interesting personal philosophy, and one that deserves to be read by students of modern philosophical writings.

Download or read book The Disordered Mind written by George Graham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "George Graham is contemporary philosophy’s most gifted and humane writer. The Disordered Mind is a wise, deep, and thorough inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the various ‘creaks, cracks, and crevices’ into which it is prone sometimes to wander." Owen Flanagan, Duke University, USA "The book is a success, it is consistently insightful and humane, and conveys a clear understanding not only of relevant philosophical topics, but also of a much more difficult issue, the relevance of those topics to understanding mental illness." Philip Gerrans, University of Adelaide, Australia "The Disordered Mind is a must read for anyone who is a psychiatrist, psychologist, philosopher, neurologist, or mental health worker. Indeed, it is a must read for any thoughtful person who simply desires to understand more deeply and more realistically the workings of their own mind as well as the workings of the human mind in general." Richard Garrett, Bentley University, USA Mental disorder raises profound questions about the nature of the mind. The Disordered Mind: An Introduction to Philosophy of Mind and Mental Illness is the first book to systematically examine and explain, from a philosophical standpoint, what mental disorder is: its reality, causes, consequences, and more. It is also an outstanding introduction to philosophy of mind from the perspective of mental disorder. Each chapter explores a central question or problem about mental disorder, including: What is mental disorder and can it be distinguished from neurological disorder? What roles should reference to psychological, cultural, and social factors play in the medical/scientific understanding of mental disorder? What makes mental disorders undesirable? Are they diseases? Mental disorder and the mind–body problem Is mental disorder a breakdown of rationality? What is a rational mind? Addiction, responsibility and compulsion Ethical dilemmas posed by mental disorder, including questions of dignity and self-respect. Each topic is clearly explained and placed in both a clinical and philosophical context. Mental disorders discussed include clinical depression, dissociative identity disorder, anxiety, religious delusions, and paranoia. Several non-mental neurological disorders that possess psychological symptoms are also examined, including Alzheimer’s disease, Down’s syndrome, and Tourette’s syndrome. Additional features, such as chapter summaries and annotated further reading, provide helpful tools for those coming to the subject for the first time. Throughout, George Graham draws expertly on issues that cut across philosophy, science, and psychiatry. As such, The Disordered Mind is a superb introduction to the philosophy of mental disorder for students of philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, and related mental health professions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind provides a lively and accessible introduction to all the main themes and arguments currently being debated in this area. The book examines and criticizes four major theories of mind: Dualism, Mind/Brain Identity, Behaviourism and Functionalism. It argues that while consciousness and our mental lives depend upon physical processes in the brain, they are not reducible to those processes. The differences between mental and physical states, mind/body causality, the problem of other minds, and personal identity are also explored in full. The second edition of this well respected text has been revised to include a new chapter which explores Aristotle’s philosophy of psychology and mind. It also includes new material on the Turing test and has been expanded and updated throughout. The book is designed to help students think for themselves about all the issues identified above, and contains exercises throughout the text to stimulate and challenge the reader. Objectives are clearly set out at the start of every chapter to enable students to check their understanding as they proceed, and each chapter ends with questions to consider. There are discussions of the most cited contemporary writers in the field, so that the reader can gain a rounded perspective of the debates.
