Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses a philosophical question posed in 1803: how can we decompose the faculty of thinking and which elementary faculties should be distinguished? The author argues that the starting point of any certain knowledge is consciousness, which has its own well-defined domain. The author proposes two primary elements of thought: an affective or passive element, and a motor or active element. These two elements are found in varying proportions in all conscious experience, allowing us to conceive of them as positive facts. From the simplest sensation, the mind can always find matter for a real decomposition into these two elements. The author maintains that the active element is more prominent in certain sense exercises and related intellectual operations, while the passive element is more prominent in other senses. The author frames this discussion within the context of the philosophical milieu of the time, specifically referencing Bacon, Locke, Condillac, Descartes, Bonnet, Hartley, and Cabanis. This book is significant for its fresh perspective on the faculty of thinking, offering an alternative to both the metaphysical and logical approaches that came before it. Through its examination of consciousness as the starting point of knowledge and the distinction between active and passive elements of thought, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of the human mind.
