Abstract
WHEN the first volume of “Problems of Life and Mind” appeared, I ventured to say that perhaps Mr. Lewes promised too much in undertaking to exhibit “how the sentient phenomena may be explained by neural phenomena,” I also directed a criticism, as pointed as I could make it, against a proposition placed by Mr. Lewes at the foundation of his psychology; namely, that “actions are prompted and really guided by feeling.” The present volume is, in addition to much else, Mr. Lewes fulfilment of his promise and his reply to the criticism.
The Physical Basis of Mind, with Illustrations, being the Second Series of Problems of Life and Mind.
By George Henry Lewes, (Trübner and Co., 1877.)
