Empirical And Rational Psychology: Embracing Cognitions, Feelings, And Volitions (1882)

Empirical and Rational Psychology: Embracing Cognitions, Feelings, and Volitions is a book written by Aaron Schuyler and published in 1882. The book explores the field of psychology, focusing on the study of human cognition, emotions, and willpower. Schuyler argues that psychology should be based on both empirical observations and rational analysis, and that these two approaches are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of psychology. The first part focuses on cognition, examining how humans perceive, remember, and reason about the world around them. The second part explores emotions and feelings, examining how they arise and how they affect human behavior. The final part of the book examines the concept of volition, or willpower, and how it relates to human decision-making and action.Throughout the book, Schuyler draws on a variety of sources, including philosophy, physiology, and experimental psychology. He argues that a comprehensive understanding of psychology requires an interdisciplinary approach, and that researchers should draw on insights from a range of fields in order to develop a more complete understanding of human behavior.Overall, Empirical and Rational Psychology is a seminal work in the field of psychology, and remains relevant today as a foundational text for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human cognition, emotion, and decision-making.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
