Mental and Moral Science

Set in 1883, this comprehensive work by Alexander Bain explores the foundations of mental and moral science, reflecting his contributions to scientific psychology and empiricism. It includes a systematic exposition of the mind, a historical overview of mental philosophy, and an extensive discussion on ethics. Divided into two parts, the first focuses on psychology and philosophy's history, while the second delves into ethical theory and systems. Bain's writings, shaped by his academic tenure at Aberdeen, offer significant insights into the interplay of psychology and ethics.
