An Essay on the Nature and Objects of the Course of Study in the Class of the Philosophy of the Human Mind and Logic, in the University of London (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how mind and education shape knowledge and virtue
In this analysis, the study of the Human Mind and Logic is shown as a practical guide to understanding how mental powers work, how states of sensation and idea arise, and how these insights can inform ethical and religious education. The text connects ancient questions about mind to modern aims in schools, universities, and everyday learning.
Placing mind at the center of education, the book explains how intellectual discipline trains attention, curiosity, memory, imagination, and reasoning. It argues that education should balance physical health, intellectual growth, and moral formation, with a focus on using knowledge to foster virtue and purpose. The approach emphasizes introspection, clear concepts, and a careful study of how ideas develop and relate to action.
Readers will find discussions that link philosophy, literature, and rhetoric to the practical work of teaching. The work also surveys how education has progressed from early speculation to a more fact-based, inductive method, noting the influence of thinkers who shaped modern science and the understanding of mind.
- Foundational ideas about sensation, idea, and the workings of memory and reason
- A framework for three-part education: physical, intellectual, and moral
- Connections between mind study and ethics, religion, and social virtue
- Implications for teaching eloquence, poetry, literary criticism, and language learning
Ideal for readers interested in the philosophy of education, cognitive study, and the aims of a well-rounded classroom.
