It was unreasonable; wholly unreasonable. Doctor Sutton, her guardian, had insisted that she postpone her wedding until after her eighteenth birthday. That was a difference of only a very few weeks, but it disarranged all her pet plans, it meant that she would have to wait just that much longer, and she loved Robert better than anything else in the world.

Download or read book Mystery of the Mind written by Wilder Penfield and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past fifty years scientists have begun to discover how the human brain functions. In this book Wilder Penfield, whose work has been at the forefront of such research, describes the current state of knowledge about the brain and asks to what extent recent findings explain the action of the mind. He offers the general reader a glimpse of exciting discoveries usually accessible to only a few scientists. He writes: "Throughout my own scientific career I, like other scientists, have struggled to prove that the brain accounts for the mind. But perhaps the time has come when we may profitably consider the evidence as it stands, and ask the question...Can the mind be explained by what is now known about the brain?" The central question, he points out, is whether man's being is determined by his body alone or by mind and body as separate elements. Before suggesting an answer, he gives a fascinating account of his experience as a neurosurgeon and scientist observing the brain in conscious patients. Originally published in 1975.

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 The Mystery of Consciousness written by John R. Searle and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been one of the most fundamental problems of philosophy, and it is now, John Searle writes, "the most important problem in the biological sciences": What is consciousness? Is my inner awareness of myself something separate from my body? In what began as a series of essays in The New York Review of Books, John Searle evaluates the positions on consciousness of such well-known scientists and philosophers as Francis Crick, Gerald Edelman, Roger Penrose, Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, and Israel Rosenfield. He challenges claims that the mind works like a computer, and that brain functions can be reproduced by computer programs. With a sharp eye for confusion and contradiction, he points out which avenues of current research are most likely to come up with a biological examination of how conscious states are caused by the brain. Only when we understand how the brain works will we solve the mystery of consciousness, and only then will we begin to understand issues ranging from artificial intelligence to our very nature as human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How the Mind Works It is sometimes said that 'we are all of us bound to be psychologists.' The proper study indeed the inevitable study - of mankind is man. Yet for the most part we commonly assume that human nature is a thing about which any reasonable person can safely generalize and reach a satisfactory View. To manufacture or repair a lifeless machine - a motor-car, a microphone, a submarine - expert knowledge is essential. But to follow the workings of the growing mind, to guide its development and correct its faults, for that, we imagine, nothing but common sense is needed. No view could be more mistaken. Common sense alone will no more enable us to fathom the mysteries of the human conscious ness than it has helped us to solve the problems of the atom or the star.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masterpieces of Mystery A nrsrmcmsnxn American writer of fiction said to me lately: Did you ever think of the vital Ameri can way we live? We are always going after mental gymnastics. Now the mystery story is mental gymnastics. By the time the reader has followed a chain of facts through he has exercised his mind, given himself a mental breather. But the claims of the true mystery story do not end with the general reader. It is entitled to the consideration of the discriminating because it indubitably takes its own place as a gauge of mastery in the field of the short story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery in the Drood Family It needs a considerable amount of assurance to add yet another book to the comparatively long list of those which have been written upon the subject of Dickens's unfinished story, and it is no sufficient justification to assert that the writer is sincerely convinced that his contribution to the discussion will afford some assistance in the solution of the problem, seeing that practically everyone who has ventilated his ideas upon the subject has expressed a similar conviction. Proctor, for instance, who was the first to examine Edwin Drood in a quasi-scientific way, was absolutely satisfied that in identifying Datchery with Edwin, he had discovered the "mystery" which Dickens had taken such pains to hide, and so strongly did he feel that his solution was correct, that he exhibited considerable impatience with those who failed to swallow it whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marks of a Clear Mind As I urge again and again throughout this book and throughout all my 'books, science is only a small part of life; it is only one approach to truth; but in its own domain it is supreme. It can brook no rival. It knows no mercy; it is utterly inhuman. It knows no friends, no enemies; it has no heart, no emotion, no passion, except one, the passion to think straight, the passion not to be fooled, and not to fool any one else. There is nothing mysterious about it at all. Indeed its whole passion is to remove mystery, to replace mystery with knowledge.

Download or read book The Mystery of Being Vol 1 written by Gabriel Marcel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery of Being, Vol. 1: Reflection and Mystery It might be said in the first place that a road implies space; and that the notion of space is something from which a meta physical investigation, as such, must abstract. One must make thesimple answer that if my metaphor must be rejected on this count, so must every kind of discursive thinking; for it is all too evident that the notion of discursiveness implies, and rests on, a simple physical image like that of walking along a road. Moreover, we shall later on have occasion to recognize the existence and philosophical rights of a sort of spatiality which might be called the spatiality of inner experience; and it may be that this spatiality of inner experience is coextensive with the whole spiritual life. But the objection may be put in another way, which has a dangerous look of being much more genuinely awkward. To lay down a road in a place where at first there were only tracks, is that not equivalent to fixing in advance a certain destination at which one intends to arrive, and must not that destination, itself, be very exactly located? The underlying image would be that of a grotto, a mine, or a sanctuary whose whereabouts one knew in advance. It would be a matter of showing the way there to those who for one reason or another wanted to have a look at the place, no doubt in order to profit from its riches. But does not this presuppose that the result we are working for has already been achieved, even before we start working for it: does it not pre suppose a preliminary or original discovery of the grotto or the sanctuary? Well, looking at the matter in my own way, I must ask whether, in the realm of philosophy, we can really talk about results? Is not all such talk based on a misunderstanding of the specific character of a philosophical investigation, as such? The question raised here at least obliges us to come to much closer grips with the very notion of a result.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The La Chance Mine Mystery I am sick of the bitter wood-smoke, And sick of the wind and rain: I will leave the bush behind me, And look for my love again. Little as I guessed it, this story really began at Skunk's Misery. But Skunk's Misery was the last thing in my head, though I had just come from the place. Hungry, dog-tired, cross with the crossness of a man in authority whose orders have been forgotten or disregarded, I drove Billy Jones's old canoe across Lac Tremblant on my way home to Dudley Wilbraham's gold mine at La Chance, after an absence of months. It was halfway to dark, and the bitter November wind blew dead in my teeth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
