About this title

Synopsis

Letters On The Laws Of Man's Nature And Development: By Henry George Atkinson. And Harriet Martineau is an 1851 epistolary work in which Henry George Atkinson and Harriet Martineau publish a series of letters discussing the science and philosophy of human nature. The book presents a dialogue between two friends who seek a common scientific basis for understanding mind and its development, arguing against dualistic mind-body separations and for a natural, Baconian method of inquiry. They discuss phrenology and phreno-physiology, brain structure, the senses, and the nervous system, the role of instinct and reason, and the relation between knowledge and belief. The letters cover topics from Mesmerism, mind and matter, and the central unity of natural law to the superstition history, theology and science, and the place of truth-seekers in society. It is not a tightly structured treatise but a connected exchange aimed at imparting truth and promoting liberty through knowledge.
