| Abstract: | "This book on mental philosophy is broken into three main divisions. In turn, each division is comprised of subparts and constituent chapters. The First Division is called "The intellectual faculties". It contains sections dedicated to presentative and representative powers. This includes chapters dedicated to the topics of memory, imagination, synthetic processes and generalization, the analytic powers and reasoning, intuition, and, cognition of the beautiful and what is right. The Second Division is called "The sensibilities". It contains sections and chapters dealing with nature, affections and emotions, desires, and hope and fear. The Third Division is titled "The will". This division addresses freedom and will, volition, choice, motives, and the connections of religious truths." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved). |
