Excerpt from What May I Hope? An Inquiry Into the Sources and Reasonableness, of the Hopes of Humanity, Especially, the Social and Religious
The psychology and philosophy of knowledge have excited the interest of the world"s best thinkers through many centuries of history. Especially did Aristotle, the greatest of teachers among the ancient Greeks, write several voluminous works dealing with the different main aspects of this subject. In his De Anima, or Psychology, be discussed the phenomena of sense-perception, including dreams; he also discoursed upon the functions of the Nous, or mind, both receptive and active even to the extent of having an immediate grasp upon the highest truths. His Treatise on Logic, or so-called Organon, analyzed the intellectual processes of conception, judgment, and the syllogism, with such skill and thoroughness that it was not until recent times that any considerable modifications of the formal laws of thought were considered necessary.
