The Elements Of Psychology Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Elements of Psychology The particular phenomena of mind as classified subjectively by psychologists generally at the present time under the departments of intelligence, sensi bility, and will, are in this work treated in the light of their respective relation and correspondence to the old and still unquestioned classes of phenomena handed down to us from antiquity under the object ive enumeration of the True, the Beautiful, and the Good. Psychological science, in the light of this correspondence, it is believed, is enabled to exhibit its phenomenain a new clearness and impressiveness. The order of treatment, hitherto adopted, has been in this work varied by giving priority to the department of the sensibility before that of the intelligence. This is unquestionably the order of natural manifestation, as we must have sense of an Object - must be impressed by it - before we can think of it. This natural order, as might be antici pated, prevents much obscurity and confusion and consequent error in the explanation of certain men tal states, particularly those of the imagination and memory. These two states have been generally, and of course very erroneously, presented under the in telligence or cognitive function.
