Abstract

Thompson's Psychology
April 23, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "A System of Psychology," by Daniel Greenleaf Thompson. The book concerns especially descriptive psychology, in which Thompson's talent is obviously the most free of movement. The discussion of intuition and inference is probably the best piece of work in the book. When one reads it one can only regret that such ability and earnestness as are there shown should have been wasted, in many other instances, for lack of wider reading. In the section on "Necessary Truth," the author failed to see even the shape of the real philosophic problems involved.
