Excerpt from Scottish Metaphysics: Reconstructed in Accordance With the Principles of Physical Science
But is there a moral sphere or environment connate with the mind, and in which it is active, as the body is in its connate physical environment? If there be such a hyperphysical sphere for the mind, as there is a physical for the body, it cannot be that that moral sphere should inhere in or issue out of the mind, any more than that the physical sphere should inhere in or be developed from the body; it must be a positively objective sphere, and not a subjective sphere for the mind to expatiate in. The analogy promises the dis covery, that as the body derives its substance, mainten ance, and growth from its surrormdings, so the mind must obtain its substance, nourishment, and develop ment, not from itself, but from its moral surroundings; it must see and breathe in the light and air of Intelligence, feed upon the substance of Goodness, and work under the effectiveness of Causation. This may be deemed a poetic way of stating the alleged facts; but the follow ing pages are an attempt to show that there is a hyper physical or moral world as well as the physical world.

Excerpt from Scottish Metaphysics: Reconstructed in Accordance With the Principles of Physical Science
Our Scottish Metaphysics may with advantage be restated or reconstructed somewhat in correspondence with the lines of Physical Science, taken in its widest sense as including organic nature as well as inorganic. This would lead us to deal with the mind and its operations, as we do with the body and its actions, by viewing the mind as having its hyperphysical environments and being active therein, even as the body is active in the midst of its physical environments. As Physiology or Biology is the science of the living organism and its functions, so Psychology is the science of the mind and its functions; but as we have Physics or Physical science, which embraces the former and goes beyond it, so we have Metaphysics, which embraces Psychology and goes beyond it.

Scottish Metaphysics (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book reconstructs Scottish metaphysics, proposing that it should reflect the progress made in physical science. The author argues that just as the body receives substance, maintenance, and growth from its surroundings, so the mind derives those from its moral surroundings. The author thus establishes a hyperphysical or moral world as well as the physical world, and even goes on to reveal the personal Ego or Self as connate with a higher nature via the Spiritual realm. This book is worth reading for anyone interested in metaphysics and the progress of science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330301579_0
