Description: 1890 Principles of Psychology Vol 1 & 2 by William James Illustrated 1st Edition Outstanding, near pristine condition. Likely traditional-style rebinding in past. Complete set of 2 volumes in cloth bindings and titles gilt stamped on spines. 1st UK edition. Nice gilt painted across head of blocks.The Principles of Psychology is an 1890 book about psychology by William James, an American philosopher and psychologist who trained to be a physician before going into psychology. The four key concepts in James' book are: stream of consciousness (his most famous psychological metaphor); emotion (later known as the James–Lange theory); habit (human habits are constantly formed to achieve certain results); and will (through James' personal experiences in life).This book provides a foundation to the principles of psychology. It draws upon the natural sciences, avoiding metaphysics, for the basis of its information. According to James, this book, assuming that thoughts and feelings exist and are vehicles of knowledge, thereupon contends that psychology, when it has ascertained the empirical correlation of the various sorts of thought or feeling with definite conditions of the brain, can go no farther as a natural science.
