Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Suggestion in Education
For Herbart the mind is primarily intellectual, that is to say, it consists of presentations, or, to adopt the usual English terminology, ideas. Herbart recognized, it is true, that the mind is not purely intellectual, that we are conscious of feelings, and that, when in a certain mental state, we talk of ourselves as 'willing'; but for him feeling and will are derivative. Feeling arises out of the interplay and mutual inhibition and further ance of ideas, while will similarly arises out of the interplay of feelings. The Herbartian position is not that feeling and will are in?uenced by ideas, but that feeling and will arise out of presentations or ideas, which is a vastly different matter.
