Sinopsis
Explore the roots of ethics and mind in Bascom's The Science of Mind, a clear guide to how we think about right and duty.
This work surveys competing theories of knowledge, action, and obligation, and asks how moral law arises in human life. It contrasts utilitarian and intuitive views, and shows how language, feeling, and judgment shape our sense of duty.
The book examines how conscience is formed, whether it comes from social custom, inner moral sense, or a mix of both. It uses concrete examples—such as fashion, honor standards, and social penalties—to illustrate why some actions feel right while others feel wrong. The discussion aims to clarify the connections between feeling, reasoning, and ethical action without overpromising outcomes.
- Understand key debates about obligation, duty, and the grounds of ethics.
- See how utilitarian and intuitive theories explain moral action, and where they diverge.
- Explore how conscience and social norms interact to guide behavior.
- Apply these ideas to everyday questions about rights and responsibilities.
Ideal for readers of philosophy and ethics seeking a thoughtful, accessible introduction.

Excerpt from The Science of Mind
I have acknowledged my obligations to others in cases in which they have been direct. I here especially ex press my indebtedness, in the general tone of the philos ophy presented, to the eminent explorer and instructor in this field, Dr. Hickok.

Excerpt from The Science of Mind
It has been a reproach to philosophy, generally and persistently put forward, that it makes no progress, that it lacks established elements, that it is a field of extravagant and contradictory theories. We do not accept these assertions in the unqualified way in which they are thrown out. So made, they are the result of ignorance and ungrounded contempt on the part of those who so easily utter them. So far, however, as these statements are true, they are a common reproach and misfortune, to be removed only by more patient, more protracted, more guarded inquiry. To scorn and reject philosophy as presented under its own, its meta-physical form, subject to its own conditions, is simply to deepen the difficulty, and postpone indefinitely as an answer to the most fundamental and central inquiries. If more than the usual number of mistakes have been made in this department, it is because more than the usual obstacles lie in the path of progress. These are not to be removed by discouragement, or by opening ways in other directions. All success to the students of physical science; but each of its field may have its triumphs, and the secrets of mind remain as unapproachable as hitherto.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate defense of the power and importance of philosophy. The author argues that philosophy is a crucial field of study, offering essential insights into the nature of the human mind and its relation to the world. He critiques the tendency to dismiss philosophy as a realm of contradictory and inconclusive theories, arguing that it is just as capable of producing demonstrable and reliable knowledge as any other branch of intellectual inquiry. The author challenges the notion that philosophy is merely a dry exercise in abstract thought. He asserts that it provides the foundation for our understanding of ourselves, our moral obligations, and our place in the universe. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the human intellect, feelings, and will as distinct and interconnected aspects of our being. The author critiques the prevailing views of his time, particularly those that sought to explain human behavior solely through materialism or evolutionary theory, arguing that these perspectives fail to capture the full complexity and uniqueness of the human experience. The book is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the human mind, offering a framework for understanding our own internal world and its crucial role in shaping our perceptions and actions. Itââ â¢s a timely reminder of the enduring value of philosophical inquiry and its ability to shed light on the most fundamental questions of our existence.
