Thought and Things, Vol. 3: A Study of the Development and Meaning of Thought or Genetic Logic; Interest and Art, Being Real Logic, I. Genetic Epistemology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Thought and Things opens a bold look at how thinking grows from habits, interests, and moral life.
This volume, the third in James Mark Baldwin’s study, surveys how genetic logic shapes what we consider true, valuable, and meaningful. It bridges psychology, logic, and epistemology to map how inner motives and social life feed the development of thought.
This book investigates practical reason and the way personal will, choice, and affective factors organize knowledge. It contrasts logical necessity with moral obligation, showing how habit, social conformity, and inner ideals interact to form meaning and action. The work blends theory with concrete discussions of interest, art, and the self in moral life.
- See how habit and social norms become part of the inner life and guide judgment.
- Distinguish between logical necessity and the motives that drive ethical decisions.
- Explore concepts like apodeictic propositions, the imperative mood, and the role of choice.
- Learn how interest, art, and cognition interrelate in the development of thought.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, psychology, and cognitive theory seeking a rigorous look at how thinking is formed and lived.
