The first book on Oliveira Martins, called by the 11th Britannica "a remarkable study." Self-taught and almost unclassifable, Oliveria Martins was th e leading figure in the late 19th century revival of Portugese letters, scholarship, and politics. Much influenced by German philosophy and inclined towards socialism, his works ranged across literature, poetry, reportage, economics (he became Minister o f Finance in 1892), psychology, sociology, philosophy, Darwinian anthropology, politics, and, especially towards the end of his life, Iberian and Portugese history. In his remarkable series Biblioteca das Ciências Sociais (1879-1885), all of the books in which were written by him, he disseminated the results of his vast erudition to the Portugese public. Three of his historical works were translated into English --The History of Iberian Civilization (Oxford 1930); The Gol den Age of Prince Henry the Navigator (London 1914); and The England of Today (London 1896).

Diamond 13.6 Inquire | Order $715.00

"This book is the only published work of an obscure Jesuit priest who died in the year of its publication. The theory presented herein, which is essentially the drainage theory of learning as developed in the late nineteenth century by James and McDougall, is a direct development of the Cartesian automaton theory. It is especially notable because Dilly did not merely link simultaneous events, as Descartes had done and as most associationists continued to do, but described a process whereby t he weaker stimulus comes to evoke the response formerly attached to the stronger stimulus -- a true conditioning paradigm. ... It is known that Locke read this book and brought it back to England with him" [Diamond The Roots of Psychology 13 .6, p. 309]. Obscure though the author was, De l'ame des bêtes proved influential and saw two later editions in 1680 and 1691. Realizing that his hypothesis about animals was a corollary of the Cartesian dichotomy, Dilly reproached Descartes for not having stressed sufficiently the dangerous consequences of the non-automatist view. Nonetheless he lauded Descartes for originating the theory of the beast-machine. See Rosenfeld's From Beast-Machine to Man-Machine, pp. 269-275.

Fechner's fourth book, written while he was mostly still interested in physics and under the sway of Naturphilosophie, is an anthology of wide-ranging essays (from cooking to aesthetics and the definition of life). Three or four essays relate to Fechner's later psychological work, the most notable being the last, which deals with the derivation of organic laws from spatial symbols ("Versuch einer Entwicklung des Organisationsgetzes aus dem räumlichen Symbol"). It is here that Fe chner articulated some of his earliest ideas on the nature of the nervous system and its molding of the conscious self.

Born in Osnabrück, Fortlage taught at Heidelberg and Berlin before becoming professor of philosophy at Jena in 1846, a post he held until his death. Originally a follower of Hegel, he turned to Fichte and the philosopher-psychologist Friedric h Eduard Beneke, agreeing with his assertion that psychology is the basis of all philosophy. The fundamental idea of his psychology is impulse, which combines representation (thereby presupposing consciousness) and feeling (i.e., pleasure). [Taken from t he 11th edition Britannica].

"Gall and his pupil Spurzheim introduced the thoery of localization of cerebral function and made the first attempt to map the cerebral cortex. Gall and Spurzheim's names are usually associated with the pseudoscience of phrenology, which grew out of his attempts to establish the existence of separate loci in the brain for each of its intellectual and emotional functions; his finding, although wrong, contain the seeds not only of the modern theory of cerebral localization of funciton but of c omparative psychology and personality theory as well. Gall also revolutionized brain dissection techniques by gently separating the structures with a blunt instrument instead of slicing them with a sharp knife -- a method that allowed him to make anatomi cal observations of fundamental importance" [Norman Caalog]. "Gall and Spurzheim established the fact that the white matter of the brain consists of nerver fibers and that the gray matter of the cerebral cortex represents the organs of mental activity. They were the first to demonstrate that the trigeminal nerve was not merely attached to the pons, but that it sent its root fibers as far down as the inferior olive in the medulla. In addition, they confirmed once and forever the medullary decussation of the pyramids" [McHenry, Garrison's History of Neurology p. 146].

Norman Catalog: "Herbart defined psychology as the mechanics of the mind and believed that mental processes could be described with mathematical exactness; in fact, he pioneered the use of mathematical models in psychological theory. He belie ved that ideas were independently active, and struggled with one another to cross the threshold into consciousness; ideas repressed during this struggle would then strive to re-emerge as memories. Herbart thus introduced concepts of suppression which rea ppear in Freud's theories of the unconscious, and anticipated current theories of memory and forgetting by interactive inhibition."

Always opposed to the kind of faculty psychology posited by Christian Wolff, Herder held a dynamic view of the human mind. "Reasoning, perceiving, wanting, feeling, and the rest wee one and all activities or attributes of the human being cons idered as a total, unitary personality; they could not be traced back to a set of independent sources mysteriously located in different areas of the mind. ... Moreover, not only was it wrong to divide up the mind itself: the traditional division between mind on one side and body on the other was also misconceived. Herder suggested on a number of occasions that the psychological and physiological aspects of man were inseparably bound up with one another. ... [Though Herder might seem to be anticipating 2 0th century behaviorist and physicalist doctrines, nevertheless], there is an important difference -- all Herder's writings on psychological subjects were ultimately based upon an explicitly metaphysical conception, the notion of Kraft. He d id not think that Kraft was rationally explicable. ... It signified for Herder a kind of primitive force or energy that had to be assumed in any adequate interpretation of existence. Thus it found embodiment in every department of human life and conduct ... There are clear affinities between this doctrine and vitalistic philosophies of the type propounded by Schopenhauer and Bergson in the nineteenth century" [Edwards Enc. of Philos. III, p. 487]. Plastik is one of the most important 18th century contributions to aesthetics and a key expression of Sturm und Drang aesthetics. Combining rationalist & empiricist approaches, Herder drew most of his examples from classical sculpture. The book is regarded as marking the transition from Classical to Romantic aesthetics. Objecting in particular to F. J. Riedel's thesis that the beautiful is what must please everyone (expounded in his 1767 Theorie der schönen Künste und Wissenschaf ten), Herder "emphasized the degree to which historical conditions mold aesthetic conceptions. He pointed out, too, that the products of artistic genius are of immense significance in the interpretation of the human past and the development of the human mind. In this sense aesthetics can be said to be an important part of anthropology, for the works of art men create are expressions of the whole personality as it emerges in the context of particular times and places" [Edwards, III, p. 488].
