Synopsis
The Brain In Relation To The Mind by Joseph Swan surveys the relationship between brain structure and mental life in a nineteenth-century framework. Swan argues that the greater part of the brain, especially the white fibres of the voluntary tract, is devoted to enabling the mind to acquire, fix, and communicate knowledge. By explaining how impressions from the senses are received, fixed, and recalled, the work shows how letters, words, numbers, and symbols become durable representations that can be spoken, written, and calculated. Across prefatory remarks and twelve chapters, the author traces the gradual development of faculties, the role of memory, the diverse expressions of thought in speech and art, and how different brain conditions influence education and creativity. He also examines the mindor body relationship, the uninstructed and instructed mind, vacuity, excited states, and the instincts of animals, presenting a unified, if speculative, theory of mind as an emergent product of brain and nerve function. Originally published in 1854 in London.
