Produktbeschreibung

In Principles of Mental Physiology, published in 1874, Carpenter demonstrates the arguments for and against two models of psychology - automatism, which assumed that the mind operates under the control of the physiology of the body for all human activity, and free will, 'an independent Power, controlling and directing that activity.'
