About this title

Synopsis

Elements Of The Philosophy Of Mind: Applied To The Development Of Thought And Feeling by Elizabeth Stryker Ricord is a 19th?century religious educational treatise presented as lectures to female seminary students. Grounded in the belief that philosophy is the science of reason and that true self?knowledge comes from the examination of the mind, the work surveys the powers and operations of the human intellect in relation to God, Scripture, and moral life. It is organized into Parts that discuss the Existence, Nature, and Destination of the Soul; its Development and Knowledge; and the Emotions, with later sections on Moral Sense, Conscience, and Moral Responsibility. Ricord argues for the immaterial and immortal nature of mind, and the unity of body and soul as a probationary state. The text traces mental faculties (Consciousness, Sensation, Attention, Conception, Memory, Association, Abstraction, Reason, Judgment, Imagination) and their ethical and religious implications, urging women to cultivate self?command, virtue, and piety through disciplined study of mind, nature, and Scripture. It blends inspiration with education, urging readers toward truth, virtue, and reverent living.
