The pure natural scientist is liable to forget that minds exist, and that if it were not for them he could neither know nor act on physical objects.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul.
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
If the history of resistance to Darwinian thinking is a good measure, we can expect that long into the future, long after every triumph of human thought has been matched or surpassed by 'mere machines,' there will still be thinkers who insist that the human mind works in mysterious ways that no science can comprehend.
In all the sciences except Psychology we deal with objects and their changes, and leave out of account as far as possible the mind which observes them.
It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
I am optimistic when I consider the spiritual dimension which the scientist's discipline forces him to ignore.
Science without conscience is the death of the soul.
To the intelligent man with an interest in human nature it must often appear strange that so much of the energy of the scientific world has been spent on the study of the body and so little on the study of the mind.
More-radical scholars insist that an inherent clash exists between science and our long-held conceptions about consciousness and moral agency: if you accept that our brains are a myriad of smaller components, you must reject such notions as character, praise, blame, and free will.
That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow.
