Sinopsis
Excerpt from Chapters on Man: With the Outlines of a Science of Comparative Psychology
The Anthropological Society of London last year; whilst Chapters V. And VI. Contain a further development of a subject which was there slightly touched on. These two chapters may appear to be of a disproportionate length, as compared with others treating of subjects equally important; but this was unavoidable, owing to their consisting chiefly of facts, which might indeed have been considerably increased in number, with great advantage to the argument, had space allowed. While this volume has been passing through the press, Mr. C. Piazzi Smyth's valuable work, entitled Life and Work at the Great Pyramid,' appeared, and it contains many facts which might have been thus used. I refer more particularly to the autumnal Festival of the Dead,' and to the ancient Pleiades Year,' with which it was associated, Mr. Haliburton having shown both of them to be almost universal. I may add, however, that the mystery connected with the origin of the Great Pyramid will probably find a solution very difl'eren't from that furnished by Mr. Smyth. With reference to the psychological hypothesis laid down in Part I., I regret that I have not met with Delitzsch's Psycho logie,' the existence of which I was unfortunately not 'aware of until the publication of the Rev. J. B. Heard's work, entitled 'tripartite Nature of Man,' which appeared while this was passing through the press.

Excerpt from Chapters on Man: With the Outlines of a Science of Comparative Psychology
Specially to any of the scientific terms employed if it were not that some of them are used in a sense so different from that associated with them by the modern school of English metaphysicians. The terms more particularly referred to are intuition, thought, and reflec tion. By intuition I understand that act or state of the mind which accompanies the recognized presentation of an object immediately, i.e. Without the intervention of thought - and intuitive action is, therefore, syn onymous with instinctive action. By thought I mean that operation of the mind which takes place in relation to the object, as an individual, after the act of perception, which is the result of intuition. I say in relation to the object, for the perception is still intuitive, the thought being about the surrounding circumstances by which the action having reference to the object is to be governed. The term reflection I use in its popular sense of thinking about an object, whether external or internal, and, as I shall endeavour to show, it differs from thought proper rather in the nature of that about which it is active than in the nature of its activity.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book questions the nature of intelligence and morality across species, presenting a bridge between the fields of physical and mental science. The author argues that mental activity is directly related to nervous development, and that the di'erences in nervous structure between human beings and other animals are reected in their cognitive capacities. By scrutinizing the phenomena of animal life through a science-based lens, he challenges traditional perspectives that deem language as solely defining the human experience and charts a course for understanding the true essence of our place within the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
