The Human Mind: a Text-book of Psychology Hand-book of Psychology: Feeling and Will Text-book of Psychology

Abstract

IN his treatise on the “Human Mind,” Mr. Sully has not attempted to supplant, but rather to supplement, his own admirable “Outlines of Psychology.” The method in the two works is the same, and the arrangement of the subject-matter, though it differs slightly in some details, is, on the whole, essentially and in principle similar. A chapter has been added on the physical basis of mental life, dealing briefly with the nervous system and with neuro-psychical correlations. But the author wisely refers his readers to text-books of physiology or to manuals of physiological psychology for a full treatment of these matters. He also gives an adequate account of the recent experimental researches on the nature and conditions of some of the simpler responsive activities, but is not blind to the difficulties and uncertainties of this so-called experimental psychology.
