By Thomas Cogswell Upham

""Mental Philosophy V1"" is a comprehensive book written by Thomas Cogswell Upham, which explores the three main departments of the human mind: intellect, sensibilities, and will. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the intellect, the second on the sensibilities, and the third on the will.In the first part of the book, Upham delves into the nature of the intellect, including its various faculties and processes. He discusses perception, conception, judgment, reasoning, and memory, providing a detailed analysis of each. He also explores the relationship between the intellect and the senses, as well as the role of the imagination in the cognitive process.The second part of the book focuses on the sensibilities, which include emotions, passions, and moral sentiments. Upham discusses the nature of these various aspects of human experience, exploring their origins, their effects on behavior, and their relationship to reason and will.The third and final part of the book explores the will, which Upham defines as the power of choice. He discusses the nature of choice, the relationship between the will and the intellect, and the role of the will in moral decision-making.In addition to these three main sections, the book also includes an appendix on language, in which Upham explores the nature of language and its relationship to thought and communication.Overall, ""Mental Philosophy V1"" provides a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the three main departments of the human mind, providing insights into the nature of cognition, emotion, and moral decision-making.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
