Originally published in 1928 this short essay looks two rival
theories of the time, both hypothetical, and explores which one
'better fits the facts'. Whether memory depends on "enduring
traces" in brain structure (to use the language of Professor
Semon), or whether it depends on records in "psychical structure"
(to use the language of Professor McDougall). Today it can be read
and enjoyed in its historical context.
Part of the 'Psychology Library Editions' series, this volume is
part of a 27 volume set which brings together a series of
previously out-of-print titles, written by a range of authors from
diverse backgrounds, many of them now leading experts in their
field. The majority of titles were originally published in the
1970s and 1980s and reflect early research in a number of key
areas, some of which are still current today.
First published in 1927, the original blurb reads: "Scientists are
beginning to believe there is some immaterial thing which performs
certain functions that the material mechanism of the brain is
powerless to perform. It is the purpose of this book to explain
what that immaterial thing is and how it functions. The Mind and
Its Mechanism deals with a theory that may conceivably influence
the study of psychology, and will interest not only psychologists,
but physiologists, physicists and biologists." Now back in print,
this title can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
