Description: Principles of Psychology in Two Volumes I and IIby William James 1905 Henry Holt and Co. (New York), two 6 1/8 x 8 5/8 inches tall brown embossed buckram cloth hardcover volumes, no dust jackets, gilt lettering to spines, [v.1] vi, 704; [v.2] xii, 689 pp. (1,411 pages total.) Slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers, with slight fraying to spine caps and a 1/8-inch tear to the top spine cap of Volume 1. Otherwise, apart from very slight age toning, a very good set - clean and unmarked - of this classic text. William James (1842-1910) was an original thinker in and between the disciplines of physiology, psychology and philosophy. This, his masterwork, The Principles of Psychology, first published in 1890, is a rich blend of physiology, psychology, philosophy and personal reflection that has given us such ideas as 'the stream of thought' and the baby’s impression of the world 'as one great blooming, buzzing confusion.' It contains seeds of pragmatism and phenomenology, and influenced generations of thinkers in Europe and America, including Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, John Dewey, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. James studied at Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School and the School of Medicine, but his writings were from the outset as much philosophical as scientific.
