Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Abridgement of Mental Philosophy: Including the Three Departments of the Intellect, Sensibilities, and Will is a book written by Thomas Cogswell Upham in 1864. The book provides a comprehensive overview of mental philosophy, exploring the three main aspects of the human mind: the intellect, sensibilities, and will. Upham's work is an abridged version of his larger work, which was published in two volumes. This abridged version is designed to provide readers with a condensed yet still comprehensive understanding of mental philosophy. The book begins with an introduction to the study of mental philosophy and the various theories that have been proposed throughout history. From there, Upham delves into the three main departments of the mind, starting with the intellect. He explores topics such as perception, memory, imagination, and reasoning. The second department Upham discusses is the sensibilities, which includes emotions, desires, and passions. He examines the nature of these feelings and how they relate to the intellect and will. Finally, Upham explores the will, discussing topics such as motivation, decision-making, and free will. He also examines the relationship between the will and the intellect and sensibilities. Overall, The Abridgement of Mental Philosophy is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the human mind. Upham's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to a wide range of readers, from students to professionals in the field of psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
