Alexander Bain, Scottish philosopher and educationalist, was an early proponent of scientific psychology. Along with his friend, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection. Bain's philosophical and scientific writings were completed during his twenty years as a professor at Aberdeen. Mind and Body was a valuable survey of mind/body views. Contents: Questions Stated; Connexion of Mind and Body; The Connexion Viewed as Correspondence, or Concomitant Variation; General Laws of Alliance of Mind and Body: The Feelings and the Will; The Intellect; How are Mind and Body United?; and History of the Theories of the Soul.
