Mental Philosophy: Including the Intellect, Sensibilities, and Will

"Mental Philosophy: Including the Intellect, Sensibilities, and Will" by Joseph Haven connects readers to a scientific exploration of the mind's inner workings, encompassing intellect, emotions, and the power of will. Written in the late 1800s, this book seeks to create a complete view of mental philosophy, addressing what the author saw as shortcomings in other books available, especially around subjects like emotional responses and willpower. The narrative begins by establishing why mental science is important and why understanding the mind is essential for both school and self-improvement, with the goal of filling a need for a better college textbook.
