Synopsis
""The Brain As An Organ Of Mind"" is a book written by H. Charlton Bastian, a British physician and neurologist, that explores the relationship between the brain and the mind. The book was first published in 1880 and is considered a seminal work in the field of neuroscience.Bastian argues that the brain is not simply a passive organ that receives and processes sensory information, but rather an active participant in the creation of conscious experience. He contends that the mind is not a separate entity from the brain, but rather a product of its activity.The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Bastian discusses the different parts of the brain and their functions, as well as the ways in which the brain processes sensory information.The second section delves deeper into the relationship between the brain and the mind. Bastian argues that the mind is not a separate entity from the brain, but rather a product of its activity. He explores the ways in which the brain creates consciousness, memory, and emotion.The final section of the book focuses on the implications of Bastian's ideas for the study of psychology and philosophy. He argues that a better understanding of the brain and its relationship to the mind can help us to better understand human behavior and the nature of consciousness itself.Overall, ""The Brain As An Organ Of Mind"" is a groundbreaking work that helped to lay the foundation for modern neuroscience. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between the brain and the mind.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
