Mind and Body

Set in 1873, this work explores the intersection of philosophy and psychology through the lens of Alexander Bain, a key figure in the British empiricist movement. It emphasizes the relationship between mind and body, challenging traditional introspection-based theories. Bain's insights, developed during his tenure as a professor, cover topics such as the connection between mental states and physical responses, the nature of feelings and will, and historical perspectives on the soul. This comprehensive survey offers a nuanced understanding of psychological and philosophical thought.
