Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ...for the statement that the so-called mental forms, Time and Space, are the B of our alphabet; that the A of our alphabet, by which the B becomes possible, is the consciousness of likeness and unlikeness; and that the C, D, F, &c.--the intuitions and conceptions presented and represented in Time and Space--are directly dependent on this consciousness of likeness and unlikeness, as well as indirectly dependent on it, through the derivative forms Time and Space. The only true " form," whether of Intuition, or of Understanding, or of Reason, is the consciousness of likeness and unlikeness; which is common to all acts of intelligence whatever. Throughout this discussion 1 use the expression "forms of intuition,1' and avoid the expression "forms of thought," which I used in the first edition of this work; and for using which I have, along with other writers, been blamed. In the course of a controversy carried on in Nature, from January 3 to February 10th, 1870, it was pointed out by Mr. Lewes, who was one of those charged with this misrepresentation, that among others who have nsed the phrase " forms of thought" to express this doctrine of Kant, are sundry professed Kantists, as Dr. Whewell and Sir W. Hamilton (a great stickler for precision); and he might have added to these, Dr. Mansel, who is also an exact writer, not likely to have misapprehended or misstated his master's moaning. The fact is that, relatively to the question at issue, whether Time and Space belong to the ego or to the non-ego, the distinction is wholly unimportant, and indeed irrelevant. If some one were to quote the statement of a certain chemist, to the effect that broadcloth is a nitrogenous substance; and if another were to contradict him, saying--no, his statement is...

The Principles of Psychology (Volume II) is the second volume by William James' important work on the study of the human mind. As the first volume focuses on the theoretical foundations of psychology, this second volume applies those principles to practical problems and explores topics such as habit, attention, imagination, and reasoning. In the book, James emphasizes the importance of psychology as a practical science that can be used to solve real-world problems. James also explores the role of consciousness in our mental processes, arguing that it is not just a passive observer but an active participant in shaping our experiences. The author proposes that the human mind has the ability to choose between different courses of action and that this ability is essential to make decisions. Moreover, The Principles of Psychology (Volume II) is a landmark work in the field of psychology, offering a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the practical applications of psychological principles.
