On Double Consciousness: Experimental Psychological Studies

On Double Consciousness: Experimental Psychological Studies by Alfred Binet is a book that explores the concept of double consciousness, which refers to the idea that individuals may have two different levels of awareness or consciousness. Binet, a renowned French psychologist, conducted a series of experimental studies to examine this phenomenon and its implications for human behavior.The book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of double consciousness, drawing on the works of philosophers such as William James and Henri Bergson. Binet then describes his experiments, which involved subjects performing tasks while simultaneously being asked to report their thoughts and feelings. Through these experiments, Binet sought to understand how the two levels of consciousness interacted and how they influenced behavior.The book also discusses the implications of double consciousness for topics such as memory, attention, and perception. Binet argues that individuals may have different levels of awareness for different aspects of their environment, and that this can have a significant impact on their ability to process information and make decisions.Overall, On Double Consciousness provides a fascinating look into an important concept in psychology, and offers insights into how our consciousness shapes our experiences and behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
