Why the Mind Has a Body

By Charles Augustus Strong

Book Overview

""Why the Mind Has a Body"" is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between the mind and the body written by C. A. Strong. The book delves into the question of how the mind and body are connected, and whether they are separate entities or part of a unified whole. Strong examines various philosophical and scientific theories about the nature of the mind and body, including dualism, materialism, and idealism. He argues that the mind and body are not separate entities, but are intimately connected and cannot be understood in isolation from one another. The book also explores the implications of this view for our understanding of consciousness, perception, and the nature of reality. Overall, ""Why the Mind Has a Body"" is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy and psychology.1903. Strong, the professor of Psychology in Columbia University writes in the preface that: The reader will find in this book (1) a sketch of an explanation of the connection of mind and body; (2) a proposal, based thereon, for a settlement of the controversy between the parallelists and the interactionists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
