The Philosophy Of Mind In Volition: Or An Essay On The Will

""The Philosophy of Mind in Volition: Or An Essay on the Will"" is a book written by John Allyn and originally published in 1851. The book explores the concept of volition, or the act of making a conscious decision or choice. Allyn delves into the philosophical aspects of the human mind and how it relates to the will, arguing that the will is not simply a product of physical or chemical processes in the brain, but rather a complex interplay between the mind and the body. Allyn examines various theories of volition and free will, including those of Immanuel Kant and David Hume, and offers his own insights into the nature of the will. He argues that the will is not deterministic, but rather a product of both internal and external factors, including genetics, environment, and personal experience. Throughout the book, Allyn also considers the practical implications of his philosophical ideas, including how they relate to moral responsibility, personal autonomy, and the nature of human agency. ""The Philosophy of Mind in Volition: Or An Essay on the Will"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
