Body and Mind: A History and a Defense of Animism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Body and Mind: A History and a Defense of AnimismPhilosophy may assure us that the account of body and mind given by materialism is neither consistent nor intelligible. Yet body remains the most fundamental and all-pervading fact with which mind has got to deal, the one from which it can least easily shake itself free, the one that most complacently lends itself to every theory destructive of high endeavour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
