Beschreibung

The Principles of Psychology (Volume II) is the second volume by William James' important work on the study of the human mind. As the first volume focuses on the theoretical foundations of psychology, this second volume applies those principles to practical problems and explores topics such as habit, attention, imagination, and reasoning. In the book, James emphasizes the importance of psychology as a practical science that can be used to solve real-world problems. James also explores the role of consciousness in our mental processes, arguing that it is not just a passive observer but an active participant in shaping our experiences. The author proposes that the human mind has the ability to choose between different courses of action and that this ability is essential to make decisions. Moreover, The Principles of Psychology (Volume II) is a landmark work in the field of psychology, offering a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the practical applications of psychological principles.

Canton's writing was characterized by its imaginative and lyrical style, as well as its focus on nature and spirituality.

In addition to his writing, Canton was also a respected lecturer and broadcaster and gave talks on a variety of subjects, including literature, religion, and science.
