Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mind, Vol. 14: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy James Mill does not appear to me to be quite equal to Brown either in ability or achievement; he is specially interesting because of the uncompromising manner in which he applied the doctrine of Association as a key to every psychological problem. The headings of the following sections as far as the ninth indicate topics which I have selected as affording opportunity for comparison between the Herbartian and the Associational standpoints, with the view of illustrating their fundamental differences. In the ninth and succeeding sections I treat of the German Beneke, who occupies in some respects an intermediate position, agreeing with English writers in their exclusive reliance on introspection as the ultimate source of psychological data, and with Herbart in his endeavour after complete mechanical explanation by means of hypotheses. § 1. Distinction between Mechanical and Presented Connexion. A presentation may be considered in two points of view, either as having intrinsically a certain qualitative content, or, mechanically, as a condition of change in the total mental system of which it forms a part. It is in the former way, not in the latter, that presentations are usually regarded by all who are not students of psychology. From this point of view, attention is fixed either on resemblance and difference and other relations constitutive of the presented content, or on its relation to objects which it is in some way supposed to represent. In either case there will appear to be an entire absence of anything that can be called agency in the presentations considered. Variations in our idea of a thing do not alter the thing itself, and resemblance and difference are not in any sense modes of interaction. Most persons find it difficult to grasp the conception of a psychological mechanism, because they habitually regard presentations purely as having a presented content. Nevertheless, the mechanical standpoint is a legitimate one, provided that its nature and limitations are duly recognised. Presentations act and react on each other in manifold ways. They exclude each other from distinct consciousness, they reproduce each other, they support each other, and so forth. Now, the clear recognition of this distinction between presented and mechanical relation forms a leading feature in Herbart´s psychology.
