On Some Conditions Of Mental Development: Together With On The Unconscious Activity Of The Brain

By William Kingdon Clifford and William Benjamin Carpenter

Book Overview

On Some Conditions Of Mental Development: Together With On The Unconscious Activity Of The Brain is a book written by William Kingdon Clifford, a prominent mathematician and philosopher of the 19th century. The book explores the conditions that contribute to the development of the human mind, including the role of education, environment, and genetics. Clifford argues that mental development is not solely determined by genetics, but is also influenced by external factors such as education and socialization. The book also delves into the concept of unconscious activity in the brain, which Clifford believes plays a crucial role in mental development. He argues that the unconscious mind is constantly processing information and making connections, even when we are not aware of it. This unconscious activity, according to Clifford, contributes to our ability to learn and adapt to new situations.Overall, On Some Conditions Of Mental Development: Together With On The Unconscious Activity Of The Brain is a thought-provoking exploration of the factors that shape the human mind and the role of unconscious activity in mental development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
