Excerpt from Cerebral Localization in Relation to Insanity: With Cases
The Epicurean sect and that Of the Stoics formed in part upon the Aristotelian doctrines, transmitted their philosophy and characteristic mental speculations from the Socratic epoch into the commencement of the Christian era. Thus for over three thousand years, preceding the time that philo Sophical theories taught by Confucius and his contempor aries in the East became known in the West, the history of philosophy informs us that the different doctrines and mental speculations were mainly made up of controversial theories and hypotheses concerning the Operations of the mind based upon no more solid foundation than the meta physical vagaries and propositions of the acknowledged leaders and champions of the popular and prevailing sects of the period in which they flourished. In the early cen turies, after the introduction of Christianity and the Roman Conquest, Alexandria, from its geographical position, be came the focus at which the philosophers Of the East and West congregated and interchanged their various dogmas and theories regarding theology, literature, politics, psycho logy and other metaphysical topics of the day. At this time the school of Neo Platonism, founded on the doctrines of Plato, took its origin and became the representative centre Of the speculative notions that grew up in the Alexandrian school, from the fusion Of Greek philosophy, Oriental mysticism and the Jewish and Christian controversies on religion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the belief that mental conditions, including insanity, originate from brain functions. The author traces the intellectual history of this idea from the ancient Greeks to the scientists of the late 19th-century, who pioneered the concept of localized brain functions. The author presents the ongoing quest to discover the link between mind and body, proposing that insanity may be caused by a diseased or abnormal condition of one or multiple brain organs. By connecting the mind's workings to physical causes, this book sets the stage for viewing mental health from a medical perspective, thus opening up new avenues for diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately lessening the stigma attached to mental illness This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
