The True Philosophy of Mind (1869)

The True Philosophy Of Mind is a philosophical treatise written by Christopher Columbus Graham and published in 1869. The book explores the nature of the mind and consciousness, and argues that the true philosophy of mind must be grounded in empirical observation and scientific inquiry.Graham begins by examining the various theories of mind that have been proposed throughout history, from ancient Greek philosophy to modern psychology. He argues that many of these theories are flawed because they rely on unprovable assumptions or lack empirical evidence.Instead, Graham proposes a new approach to the study of the mind, which he calls ""empirical psychology."" This approach emphasizes the importance of observation and experimentation in understanding the workings of the mind, and seeks to develop a scientific understanding of consciousness.Throughout the book, Graham explores a wide range of topics related to the philosophy of mind, including perception, memory, emotion, and the nature of consciousness itself. He draws on insights from both Eastern and Western philosophy, as well as the latest scientific research, to develop a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the mind.Overall, The True Philosophy Of Mind is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: what is the nature of the mind, and how can we understand it?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
