Abstract
THE aim of this volume is twofold: first, to give a clear, accurate, and up-to-date account of the psycho-physiology of man; and then to enter a protest against a merely materialistic interpretation of the phenomena. Such a protest, coming from one who is well abreast of modern physiology, is likely to carry weight which could not but be lacking to the opposition of a thorough-going disciple of the “old psychology” school. No one can say that Mr. Ladd's conclusions are reached in and through his ignorance of the real nature and value of the facts on which materialists base their arguments.
Elements of Physiological Psychology.
A Treatise on the Activities and Nature of the Mind from the Physical and Experimental Point of View. By George T. Ladd., Professor of Philosophy in Yale University. (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1887.)
