Reviews / Votes
"This book . . . was originally published in 1892 by Holt and republished by Harper in 1961. A durable classic in the field, it is developed on the structure of seventeen definitive chapters treating cryptic themes such as Habit, Stream of Consciousness, The Self, Attention, Conception, Discrimination, Association, Memory, Imagination, Perception, Reasoning, Emotion, Instinct, Will, and the like. . . . Today . . . it is still eminently readable scholarship." -Journal of Psychology and Christianity"The re-publication of James's work written in 1892 is a testimony to his monumental importance in the field of psychology. The work, a brief of his larger work, Principles of Psychology, illustrates to the modern mind how far we have come in returning to some of James's insights." -Studies in Formative Spirituality
