Excerpt from Habit and Intelligence: A Series of Essays on the Laws of Life and Mind
Ou the other hand, chapters have been inserted on the Facts of Variation, on the Effect of Change of Conditions, and on Mimicry, Colour, and Sexual Selection. These are mostly abstracted from the enormous mass of detail noted in Darwin's works and I hope that they may be not only serviceable in illustrating the reasonings of this work, but useful in themselves as constituting an accurate 'and readable summary of interesting and important facts. The following chapters are also altogether new, and are the most original in the work.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel and original theory on the nature of life and mind. The author argues that both phenomena are characterized by the laws of habit and intelligence, which are fundamental to all living beings. The theory proposed challenges the prevailing view that the organizing intelligence and the mental intelligence are two distinct entities and suggests a unified understanding that encompasses both conscious and unconscious manifestations of intelligence. Exploring a wide range of topics, including the origin of species, the nature of consciousness, and the development of society, this book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the principles that govern life and mind, providing a fresh perspective on these fundamental aspects of human existence.
