Synopsis
Excerpt from The Definition of the Psychical
James treats the consciousness with which psychology deals as efficacious, as a selective agency that actually operates in the control of the physical system.83 He also regards it as conditioned in a causal sense by the physical, more especially the nervous system. He finds the simplest method of stating this to be the soul-theory.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of the 'psychical' and its myriad meanings, interpretations, and functions from the perspectives of several influential philosophers. The author explores the historical evolution of the term, from its early association with subjectivity and inner consciousness to its more recent usage as a category of scientific inquiry. Through examining the works of Wundt, Bradley, James, and others, the book highlights the tension between understanding the psychical as an objective phenomenon or a subjective experience. The author argues that the psychical is not a fixed entity but rather a fluid concept that is constantly being shaped and reshaped by our evolving understanding of consciousness and the mind. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, offering a comprehensive overview of the philosophical landscape surrounding the concept of the psychical. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
