Mental Philosophy; Including The Intellect, Sensibilities, And Will

By Joseph Haven

Book Overview

What happens inside the mind when it knows, feels, and decides? Joseph Haven answers with clarity, restraint, and moral urgency. Mind, laid bare, at last. Written as a mental philosophy textbook and a full philosophy of mind treatise, Mental Philosophy; Including The Intellect, Sensibilities, And Will sets out a structured account of human faculties: how the intellect forms ideas and judgments, how the sensibilities colour experience with emotion and desire, and how the will moves from deliberation to action. Rooted in faculty psychology theory yet alert to lived experience, Haven connects inner life to moral agency and choice, making this a strong fit for a college philosophy course and an unusually readable self study philosophy reader. As a complete public domain text, it also offers a dependable primary source for anyone tracing American 19th century philosophy in conversation with Victorian era psychology. The book stands close to Scottish common sense philosophy, with clear affinities to Thomas Reid philosophy, while speaking in an American classroom voice: careful definitions, patient distinctions, and an eye for practical reasoning. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
