La Psychologie Anglaise Contemporaine (Ecole Experimentale)

Abstract

THIS book expounds to French readers the psychological doctrines of Mr. Jas. Mill, Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Herbert Spencer, Professor Bain, Mr. G. H. Lewes, and (more briefly) of Mr. S. Bailey, Mr. Morell, and Mr. Murphy. It ends with a short summary of general results won in the course of the great English psychological movement marked by these names, and is prefaced by an introduction giving the author's view of the development of the sciences, and particularly the science of psychology. For the English thinkers, also, of another type (Hamilton, Whewell, Mansel, Ferrier), he seems to promise to do next what he does here for those whom he classes together as making, after the proper tradition of English thought, an experimental school.
