The Analysis of Sensations, and the Relation of the Physical to the Psychical (Classic Reprint)

English translation of Professor Mach s Contributions to the Analysis of the Sensations which was published in 1897,1 but is, as the more comprehensive title indicates, an almost entirely new book. The Contributions originally appeared in 1886. The English translation of 1897 contained a certain amount of new matter, most of which was embodied by Professor Mach in his second edition (1900). Since then there have been three more editions :two of them, the third and the fifth, containing important changes and additions of such extent that the fifth edition, of which this translation is now offered to the English-speaking public, is a book nearly twice as long as the original English translation. It may therefore be convenient to mention here the principal respects in which this book differs from the translation of 1897. Six chapters are entirely new, namely, Chapter III., on My Relation to Richard A venarius and other Thinkers ;C hapter V., on Physics and Biology: Causality and Teleology ;C hapter VIII., on The Will j Chapter IX., on Biologico-teleological Considerations as to Space ;C hapter XI., on Sensation, 1C ontributions to the Analysis of the Sensations, by Dr. Ernst Mach. Translated by C. M. Williams. Chicago :O pen Court Publishing Co.
