Description

The Senses and the Intellect is a book written by Alexander Bain that explores the relationship between the senses and the intellect. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the senses and the second part focusing on the intellect. In the first part, Bain examines the different senses, including touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight. He discusses how each sense works and how they interact with each other to create our perception of the world around us. He also explores how our senses can be deceived and how our perceptions can be altered by external factors.In the second part, Bain delves into the workings of the intellect, discussing topics such as memory, imagination, and reasoning. He examines how the intellect processes information and how it can be trained and developed. He also discusses the role of emotions in the intellectual process and how they can affect our thinking.Throughout the book, Bain uses examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points and make his ideas accessible to the reader. The Senses and the Intellect is a classic work in the field of psychology and philosophy, and it continues to be relevant today for anyone interested in understanding the workings of the human mind.1868. Alexander Bain, Scottish philosopher and educationalist, was an early proponent of scientific psychology. Along with his friend, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection. Bain's philosophical and scientific writings were completed during his twenty years as a professor at Aberdeen. The object of this treatise is to give a full and systematic account of two principal divisions of the science of the mind, -the Senses and the Intellect. The remaining two divisions, comprising the Emotions and the Will, will be the subject of a future treatise.
