Excerpt from The Principles of Physiology: And a Dissertation on the Functions of the Nervous System
The introduction which I have written, at the request Of the Council of the Sydenham Society, might suffice for a Preface also, if it were not that there are one or two matters to be mentioned which a Preface only can include.
In the first place, I earnestly request the reader's close at tention to the works contained in this Volume; partly, for my own sake, that I may not lose the sweetest reward of literary labour; but principally for his and for the interests of medical science and art. They belong to a field of research not yet fully entered upon by the medical profession. Emigrants from its ranks have been the Pilgrim Fathers of many, if not most, of the natural history sciences; but there is one that has yet to be perfected by its labours - the science Of mind.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate workings of the animal organism, challenging the prevailing scientific thought of the time. It presents a revolutionary perspective on physiology, separating the purely physical and mechanical forces from what the author calls "proper animal forces," which are unique to living creatures. The author argues that understanding these "proper animal forces" is essential for comprehending the true nature of the animal body. He proposes a new system for classifying these forces, dividing them into those that act in connection with the mind and those that operate independently. This book explores the influence of the mind on the body, examining how thoughts, desires, and emotions translate into physical actions. The author also explores the "nerve forces" that control instinctive and involuntary actions, independent of conscious thought. He challenges the common notion of the "vital spirits" as a driving force, suggesting instead that "sense-like impressions" act as the primary motivators for these actions. The book further explores the interconnectedness of the body and mind, presenting a nuanced view of their reciprocal influence. It presents a detailed framework for understanding how the various faculties of the mind, including sensations, instincts, and passions, operate within the intricate machinery of the body. This groundbreaking work ultimately paves the way for a more comprehensive understanding of the animal organism, laying the foundation for a new era of physiological exploration.
