About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1906. Not illustrated.

Introductory The human will is a subject which, by reason of its overwhelming theoretical and practical importance, must be treated at length in such a volume as this. It is only within the last half-century that we have had any scientific treatment of the will. Philosophers have discussed it in all ages, but always from a point of view of their own, involving either the results of introspection, an inquiry into their own experience, or else a mere logomachy, full of sound but signifying nothing-- vox et proeterea nihil. The human will is now recognized by impartial thinkers as a fit and proper subject for scientific study. The theologians may continue to speak as if psychology had stood still since the publication of Kant's Critique of Practical Reason, more than a century ago; but, as Mr. Thomas Hardy has lately observed, the determinist conception--which, we may note, is really as old as Buddhism -- is steadily percolating into the popular mind, while the moral anarchy which is supposed to be a necessary consequence of its acceptance, has yet to be observed. Furthermore, it is emphatically the evolutionary treatment of the will, and the searching light it has thrown on the springs of conduct, that has rescued the whole subject from the verbal morass of so many generations and has placed it upon the rock of positive facts. Let us now look at some of the questions involved. In the first place, the post - Spencerian writer cannot treat of man's will as if it had sprung, like Minerva, fully armed from the head of Jove. For now exactly half a century such a method of treatment has been obsolete. Neither will nor any other aspect of mind can be treated as if the adult Caucasian consciousness were an immediate creation, of whose genes...
