Description

Daniel Greenleaf Thompson’s A System of Psychology (Volume I) (1884) presents a foundational study of the human mind from a philosophical and scientific perspective. Combining elements of empirical observation and philosophical reasoning, Thompson explores mental processes such as sensation, perception, memory, and reasoning. The work aims to establish psychology as a systematic and independent discipline, bridging philosophy and emerging experimental methods. Written in a lucid and analytical style, this volume provides valuable insights into 19th-century psychological theory and its development toward modern scientific psychology. It remains a significant reference for scholars interested in the history and evolution of psychological thought.
