Sinopsis

Excerpt from Problems of Life and Mind

The credit of this conception is due to Auguste Comte. Others before him had Of course recognised the fact that social conditions greatly influenced mental evolution; the fact was transparent, but no one had seized its full significance. Nor do I think that even Comte saw more than its general range. His abstention from analysis and detailed investiga tion kept him from specifying the mode of operation of the social factor; and his cerebral theory, so unsatisfactory in its method, and so fantastic in its anatomy, could not supply what he left unspecified.

Excerpt from Problems of Life and Mind

In every science we define the object and scope of the search, the motive of the search, and the means whereby the aim may be reached. The purpose of the following pages is to set forth what it is we study in Psychology, why we study it, and how we ought to study it.

A glance at the literature of the subject discloses the utmost discordance of these cardinal points. The conceptions of the object and scope are different, and lead to the adoption of antagonistic methods. On the one side stands the ancient metempirical conception of the so-called Rational Psychology, with its deductive method of ontological research. Its adherents, even when condescending to what they call Empirical Psychology, so little regard the data of Experience, that they quietly ignore the complex conditions of the living organism, and treat mental facts simply as the manifestations of a Psychical Principle, at once unknowable and intimately known, a mysterious agent revealed to Consciousness.
