Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Phrenology, Delivered in the University of Paris, 1836 Aristotle, the disciple of Plato, appeared on the stage; he declares that ideas, ad mitted by his master. Are anterior to all human knowledge, but not innate; they are introduced through the medium of the senses, and become graven on the under standing, which the Grecian philosopher compares to a waxen tablet untouched by the stylus, or to a sheet of blank paper. This theory, though seemingly simple, was not implicitly received. Aristotle himself was compelled to admit the existence of passions, of torment derived from the ex ternal world, and deranging the regularity of impressions made on his blank surface. The Platonics were not content with this; they perceived that men act differently un der the influence of the same ideas; hence, even at this remote period. Was seen the. Ne cessity of admitting something concealed. Something above ideas, some innate dispo sition to employ ideas in a determinate manner. This remark was just; but to what did it lead? Where was this innate disposition placed? By the followers of Plato, in the mind, vaguely; but according to Aristotle, in the mind as seated in the brain. Thus, gentlemen, we arrive at the origin of theories on sentiments and instincts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Phrenological Journal and Miscellany
Author: A cultural history of chess-players
Author: John SharplesPublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526120550
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This inquiry concerns the cultural history of the chess-player. It takes as its premise the idea that the chess-player has become a fragmented collection of images, underpinned by challenges to, and confirmations of, chess’s status as an intellectually-superior and socially-useful game, particularly since the medieval period. Yet, the chess-player is an understudied figure. No previous work has shone a light on the chess-player itself. Increasingly, chess-histories have retreated into tidy consensus. This work aspires to a novel reading of the figure as both a flickering beacon of reason and a sign of monstrosity. To this end, this book, utilising a wide range of sources, including newspapers, periodicals, detective novels, science-fiction, and comic-books, is underpinned by the idea that the chess-player is a pluralistic subject used to articulate a number of anxieties pertaining to themes of mind, machine, and monster.
