Book Description
Excerpt from Greek Theories of Elementary Cognition From Alcmaeon to Aristotle As regards scientific method, it was not to be expected that it could exist at a period when logic - deductive and induc tive - was as yet unknown, and when the provinces of the various departments of thinking had as yet no boundaries assigned to them. As regards positive knowledge, again, the disadvantages under which the Greek psychologists laboured were insuperable. Pure mathematics had advanced to an important degree Of attainment, but empirical sciences, e.g. Physics and physiology, were in their infancy. Even Aristotle, like his predecessors, with whom he so Often places himself in controversy, possessed only the scantiest means of physical observation. In fact, Observation did not go beyond what could be accomplished by the naked eye. Physical experiments only of the most rudimentary kind were possible at a time when, of all our varied mathe matical and physical implements, inquirers had to content themselves with what they could achieve by the aid of the rule and the compasses. 'chemical analysis, correct measurements and weights, and a thorough application of mathematics to physics were unknown. The attractive force of matter, the law Of gravitation, electrical phenomena, the conditions of chemical combination, pressure Of air and its effects, the nature of light, heat, combustion, &c., in short all the facts on which the physical theories of modern science are based, were wholly, or almost wholly, undiscovered In their attempts at psychology under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at if they met with but little success. They had, for example. To arrive at. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Greek theories of elementary cognition from Alcmaeon to Aristotle, by John I. Beare. The aim of this book is to give a close General historical account of the various theories, partly physiological and partly psychological, by which the Greek philosophers from Alcmaeon to Aristotle endeavoured to explain the elementary phenomena of cognition. The pre-Aristotelean writers who applied themselves to this subject, and of whose writings we possess any considerable information, are Alcmaeon of Crotona, Empedoicles, Democritus, Anaxagoras, Diogenes of Apollonia, and Plato. We propose to set forth here their speculations, together with those of Aristotle, as to the so-called Five Senses, Sensation in general, and the psychical processes, such as Imagination and Memory, which involve the synthetic function referred by Aristotle to Sense, and named by his Latin commentators the Sensits Communis. Reproduction of the 1906 Edition.

Aristotle on Earlier Greek Psychology
Author: Jason W. CarterPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108574777
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
This volume is the first in English to provide a full, systematic investigation into Aristotle's criticisms of earlier Greek theories of the soul from the perspective of his theory of scientific explanation. Some interpreters of the De Anima have seen Aristotle's criticisms of Presocratic, Platonic, and other views about the soul as unfair or dialectical, but Jason W. Carter argues that Aristotle's criticisms are in fact a justified attempt to test the adequacy of earlier theories in terms of the theory of scientific knowledge he advances in the Posterior Analytics. Carter proposes a new interpretation of Aristotle's confrontations with earlier psychology, showing how his reception of other Greek philosophers shaped his own hylomorphic psychology and led him to adopt a novel dualist theory of the soul–body relation. His book will be important for students and scholars of Aristotle, ancient Greek psychology, and the history of the mind–body problem.
