Developing Mental Power. E-book. Formato PDF George Malcolm Stratton   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

We have long sought a presentation which would give teachers and other daily workers with mind a simple general view of mental life in its fundamental working aspects. We have been fortunate enough to find the exposition required, and it is ofiered in this monograph. We are con fident of the in?uence it will have upon the Amer ican public which reads books on psychology. We are especially glad to offer this statement of the theory of the developing mind in a series intended for teachers because of the particular form of argument which the author has utilized to express his views. It meets with beneficent directness most of the fundamental doubts and controversies which have enmeshed the teaching profession for a quarter of a century.

Theophrastus and the Greek Physiological Psychology Before Aristotle. E-book. Formato PDF George Malcolm Stratton   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The Greek text of the De Sensions used and here repro duced is substantially that of Diels in his Doxogmpfzi Graeei, with such changes as he himself has made in those portions of it included in his Fragmente der Vorsokmtiker. Departures from the readings of Diels I have tried faithfully to indicate; but to a very few minor changes in punctua tion I have thought it unnecessary to draw attention. Nor in the translation have I carried through in stubborn consistency my general purpose to indicate by angular brackets, those English expressions that have no cor responding words in the Greek. I have omitted these marks when I felt that the occasion was very slight for troubling in this way the reader's eye.

Psychology of the Religious Life. E-book. Formato PDF George Malcolm Stratton   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

In the religious life there is an inherent struggle. The presence Of the Supremely Impressive makes the self and other men and all the common goods Of life Objects at once Of value and contempt. Reverence calls forth both hope and fear, both rejoicing and dejection. And yet men naturally see this con?ict, not as wholly in themselves, but at least in part as without the parts and powers Of the world appear to be in mutual strife. There is, however, in peoples and religions a differing sense Of this discord. The Greek pictured the world, somewhat as he built his temple, with a certain Simple grace; while the Germanic mind, like the Gothic vault with its impenetrable shadows, saw the gloom and the evil close to what is fair. Every people and every person in varying degree reveals a peculiar feeling Of the tension Of the world.
