DESCRIPTION :

The Physical Basis of Mind by George Henry Lewes, published in 1877, is a pioneering work in the study of psychology and the relationship between the mind and the body. Lewes, a philosopher and scientist, sought to bridge the gap between the physical and mental realms by applying scientific principles to the study of the mind. He argued that mental processes are fundamentally linked to physiological functions, particularly those of the nervous system. In this book, Lewes explores concepts such as sensation, consciousness, and the nervous system, making a case for a more holistic understanding of mental phenomena through biological and physiological analysis.
