Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind

James Mill and Alexander Bain

A son edited his father's psychology, and the notes became a debate across generations. James Mill's analysis resolves the mind into associations of sensations and ideas; John Stuart Mill, with Alexander Bain, George Grote, and Andrew Findlater, annotates, extends, and corrects throughout. The central text of associationist psychology in its richest form. Listen to two Mills think at once.
