It is only necessary to watch a two-year-old closely to see what members of the family are giving him his personal copy--to find out whether he sees his mother constantly and his father seldom; whether he plays much with other children, and what in some degree their dispositions are; whether he is growing to be a person of subjection, equality, or tyranny; whether he is assimilating the elements of some low unorganized social personality from his foreign nurse. keywords: action; animal; attention; body; brain; cases; child; children; experiments; fact; general; genius; hand; individual; instinct; judgment; life; man; method; mind; motor; movements; new; persons; point; psychology; question; results; right; second; self; sense; shows; social; society; sort; speech; subject; suggestion; theory; things; thought; time; use; view; way cache: 20522.txt plain text: 20522.txt item: #7 of 16 id: 2529 author: Russell, Bertrand title: The Analysis of Mind date: None words: 89881 flesch: 59 summary: What results, formally, from our knowledge of the past through images of which we recognize the inaccuracy, is that such images must have two characteristics by which we can arrange them in two series, of which one corresponds to the more or less remote period in the past to which they refer, and the other to our greater or less confidence in their accuracy. Thus we may say that we think of an image A when we have a similar image B associated with recollections of circumstances connected with A, but not with its prototype or with other images of the same prototype. keywords: belief; case; consciousness; content; desire; experience; fact; feeling; general; habit; images; knowledge; laws; lecture; matter; meaning; memory; mental; mind; movements; object; past; physics; present; psychology; question; relation; sensations; sense; thought; time; view; way; words; world cache: 2529.txt plain text: 2529.txt item: #8 of 16 id: 38582 author: Beardslee, Clark S.

Philosophic Imagination._--The term _philosophic_ imagination, in distinction from _poetic_, is employed by the same distinguished writer to denote the faculty, possessed by some minds of a high order, of discovering new truths in science; of so classifying and arranging known facts as to bring to light the laws which govern them, or, by a happy conjecture, assigning to phenomena hitherto unexplained, a theory which will account for them. keywords: act; action; activity; attention; beauty; case; character; circumstances; class; conception; consciousness; degree; desire; emotion; existence; fact; faculties; faculty; feeling; form; freedom; general; good; human; idea; imagination; intellectual; judgment; knowledge; law; laws; life; love; man; matter; memory; men; mind; moral; nature; new; object; order; perception; philosophy; place; power; present; principle; process; qualities; question; reason; reasoning; regard; relation; result; right; science; self; sensation; sense; simple; state; taste; term; thing; thought; time; truth; use; view; volition; way; word cache: 45041.txt plain text: 45041.txt item: #12 of 16 id: 45449 author: Grierson, Francis title: Abraham Lincoln: The Practical Mystic date: None words: 18083 flesch: 67 summary: A Prophetic Witness_ In his book, Life on the Circuit with Lincoln, Judge Whitney comments:-- As early as 1856, independent of all contemporary opinion, I conceived the idea that Mr. Lincoln was a prodigy of intellectual and moral force.

These psychical laws, by virtue of the subjection of psychical phenomena to the interconnection of consciousness, can only be valid within the limits within which such an interconnection of psychical processes takes place. keywords: apperception; attention; beats; consciousness; elements; fact; feeling; ideas; laws; life; means; phenomena; processes; row; sensations; sense; thought; time cache: 46677.txt plain text: 46677.txt item: #14 of 16 id: 743 author: Godwin, William title: Thoughts on Man, His Nature, Productions and Discoveries Interspersed with Some Particulars Respecting the Author date: None words: 116683 flesch: 61 summary: In the ensuing volume I have attempted to give a defined and permanent form to a variety of thoughts, which have occurred to my mind in the course of thirty-four years, it being so long since I published a volume, entitled, the Enquirer,--thoughts, which, if they have presented themselves to other men, have, at least so far as I am aware, never been given to the public through the medium of the press.

If, then, the will and the actions of this individual have an influence over a great number of other men, here is the moral world in a state of the greatest combustion, and those consequences ensue which man contemplates with fearful wonder. keywords: action; beings; bodies; body; brain; causes; consequence; death; desire; effects; existence; experience; form; great; happiness; human; ideas; imagination; impulse; laws; life; man; manner; matter; means; men; mind; mode; motion; nature; necessity; objects; order; organs; passions; power; properties; reason; senses; society; soul; species; state; thing; truth; virtue; world cache: 8909.txt plain text: 8909.txt item: #16 of 16 id: 8910 author: Holbach, Paul Henri Thiry, baron d' title: The System of Nature, or, the Laws of the Moral and Physical World.

Nevertheless, if the Divinity be incomprehensible, It would not be straining a point beyond its tension, to conclude that a priest, or metaphysician, did not comprehend him better than other men: it is not, perhaps, either the wisest or the surest way to become acquainted with him, to represent him to ourselves, by the imagination of a theologian. keywords: act; action; beings; causes; conduct; divinity; earth; effects; evil; existence; experience; fact; form; gods; good; happiness; human; ideas; ignorance; imagination; knowledge; laws; man; mankind; manner; matter; means; men; mind; mode; morality; mortals; motion; nature; necessity; notions; opinions; order; passions; peculiar; people; power; priests; qualities; reason; society; species; superstition; systems; thing; thou; time; truth; virtue; wisdom; world cache: 8910.txt plain text: 8910.txt
