Description

In A System of Psychology (Volume II), Daniel Greenleaf Thompson continues his comprehensive exploration of the human mind and its operations. This volume delves into higher mental processes such as reasoning, emotion, volition, and moral consciousness, presenting them through both philosophical and scientific perspectives. Thompson integrates insights from physiology, metaphysics, and ethics to form a unified system of psychological thought. His analytical approach bridges the gap between empirical psychology and philosophical inquiry, offering a balanced view of mental life and human behavior. The work remains a significant contribution to the development of psychological theory in the late nineteenth century, appealing to scholars of philosophy, psychology, and intellectual history.
