Excerpt from Idealistic Beginnings in EnglandWhether any excuse should be ofiered for going into, a period that has so often been the object of inquiry on the part of more experienced students, is left for the reader of the following studies to decide, but a word as to the genesis of the paper cannot be out of place. It began in an inquiry into the signification of the term imagination in earlier English writers. This was found to be a trustworthy index of the several philosophers' po sitions in psychology. Interesting light was thrown upon the beginnings of idealism. With the English germs of idealism so completely laid bare, it has been thought worth while to retrace the study with especial reference to that move ment. In tracing this gradual development of and continued emphasis upon the synthetic func tion of mind, it has been thought relevant to the study to keep watch upon the formal explanation of union as well as the explanation that must underlie the description given by each author. Hence the importance of and attention given to the principle of association in these studies. That these studies have been made from the stand-point of physiological psychology, is too apparent to call for the statement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
