Agnes Arber's international reputation is due in part to her
exceptional ability to interpret the German tradition of
scholarship for the English-speaking world. The Mind and the Eye is
an erudite book, revealing its author's familiarity with philosophy
from Plato and Aristotle through Aquinas to Kant and Hegel; but it
is not dull, because the quiet enthusiasm of the author shines
through. In this book she turns from the work of a specialist in
one science to those wider questions which any scientist must ask
at intervals. What, in short, is the relationship between the eye
that sees and the mind that weighs and pronounces? An important
feature of this Cambridge Science Classics reissue is the
introduction provided by Professor P. R. Bell, who as a Cambridge
botany student at the time that Agnes Arber was writing The Natural
Philosopby of Plant Form, is uniquely able to set The Mind and the
Eye in the context of contemporary biological research.
