Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Intellect The first two pieces in this volume are lectures from the "University Courses" on philosophy, given at Harvard College in 1870 and 1871, by persons not members of the Faculty. "The Natural History of the Intellect" was the subject which Emerson chose. He had, from his early youth, cherished the project of a new method in metaphysics, proceeding by observation of the mental facts, without attempting an analysis and coordination of them which must, from the nature of the case, be premature. With this view, he had, at intervals from 1848 to 1866, announced courses on the "Natural History of Intellect," "The Natural Method of Mental Philosophy," and "Philosophy for the People." He would, he said, give anecdotes of the spirit, a calendar of mental moods, without any pretence of system.

Download or read book The Natural History of Thought in Its Practical Aspect written by George Wall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Thought in Its Practical Aspect: From Its Origin in Infancy In every other branch of knowledge it is deemed necessary to begin at the beginning, but in regard to-the cultivation of the mental faculties this rule is not Observed. Nearly all that is done or attempted in the way of training the intellect is applicable only to the mind in the advanced stages of its history. The rules prescribed and the means used in the education Of youth are designed to furnish information to minds already more or less developed, and are inapplicable to the incipient faculty. They therefore afford no help towards moulding the mind and directing its first efforts during the plastic period of its formation. If the mind had no incipient stage, but sprang into being at once with a mature power of understanding, there would be reason in regarding it in that aspect, and in providing only for its requirements in that condi tion. Seeing, however, that it resembles all other of God's works in attaining its powers by a gradual process of development from zero, it seems proper that it should be studied and cultivated from its origin in babyhood. The birth, progress and early development of the faculty being generally dis regarded, the infant mind is left to form or deform itself under such influences as may happen to environ the first stages Of childhood and supply the first material for the exercise of the incipient intellect.

Download or read book The Nature and Development of Animal Intelligence Classic Reprint written by Wesley Mills and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Development of Animal Intelligence From various quarters the suggestion has come to me to prepare a work on Comparative Psychology, as it was known that this subject has engaged my attention in no small measure for many years. It would be easy enough to collect an additional number of anecdotes of animals, and pen some reflections on them. It might be possible to gather together some accounts of the doings of animals of undoubted accuracy and examine these critically, but all this has been done, and we must now enter on another stage - that of exact, systematic observation and experiment. There are, however, many methods by which so broad a science as Comparative Psychology can be advanced, and I hope no word I may write may suggest any of those narrow views for which even scientific men are sometimes to be held responsible. There are many points of view, and it will be well to gather observations and opinions from every proper source available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intelligence in Plants and Animals Nothing is more charming to the mind of man than the study of Nature. Religion, moderation and magnanimity have been made a part of his inner being through her teachings, and the soul has been rescued by her influence from obscurity. No longer doth man grovel in the dust, seeking, animal-like, the gratification of low and base desires, as was his wont, but on the wings of thought is enabled to soar to the very gates of Heaven and hold communion with God. Though made a little lower than the angels, yet, through the mighty play of forces that have been at work in the world, which we, in the latter half of this enlightened century, are just beginning-to recognize and comprehend, he has been lifted from the mire of degra dation and placed upon a higher social, intellectual, moral and spiritual level. Out of the animal, in the scheme Of Deity, the Spiritual system Of things is to be elaborated, and not the animal out of the Spiritual. This natural world, so to speak, is the raw material of the spiritual. Therefore, ere man can understand the Spiritual, he must understand the natural. Though his knowledge was at first about material things, or such as pertained to natural phenomena, yet from this through the ages has been builded, little by little, that mountain-height of knowl edge, intellectual and moral, which, if rightly directed, is to bring him into fellowship with Deity. A's we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, or, Lord from heaven.

Download or read book A Bible for A Thoughtfull Skeptic the Natural History of Intelligence written by Thom Pain, Jr. and published by Thom Pain Jr.. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes the case for realistic faith in the power of intelligence as opposed to blind faith in the pronouncements of those who claim infallibility or divine guidance. The author, Thom Pain, identifies the discoveries of systems and information theory early in the twentieth century as the key to a naturalistic explanation of purposeful life and intelligence and to the last stage in the emancipation of science from theology. He begins his story with the discoveries that revealed the memory mechanism as a built-in "tropisms for truth" that gave even primitive creatures a logical tool for improving their decisions and solving their problems. It is a story that reveals a surprisingly early version of intelligence and an amazing versatility in the types and range of intelligence. When one species developed symbolic languages, it becomes the story of the cultural developments of the human species. As civilization evolved, Thom identifies the rulers and the ruling classes as both the leaders and the obstacles to intellectual progress. In their new role, the rulers either claimed to be gods or the representative of the gods and often led the exploitation that had become the privilege of conquers and of the ruling classes. Indoctrinated faith and loyalty became authoritarian tools of aggression and oppression. In this cruel environment, religion also became a source of moral strength and initiative for the oppressed and religious rebels were often the leaders in the struggles for political and intellectual freedom. These struggles were not about the belief in God but about the abuses of authority by those who claimed to be the representatives of God. Thom follows this story as it sharpened the distinction between reason and theology and led to the modern concepts of democracy and personal and religious freedom.
