Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Theory of Mind
The nature of the mind has itself been the cause of this delay in the formation of an acceptable theory for it. There is but one method of direct observation of mental phenomena, viz., introspection. But this method turns out to be almost entirely fruitless. The mind is conscious of its own thoughts and of a considerable number of feelings, but of its workings - of its essence - ir is quite unconscious. We fall into a void as soon as we attempt to observe exactly what is and what goes on in it. There is Simply nothing to observe.
