In the summer of 1910 a symposium on the subject of Instinct and Intelligence was held in London at a joint meeting of the Aristotelian and British Psychological Societies and of the Mind association. Considerable interest in the discussion was shown both in the room in which we met and beyond its walls. The papers then taken as read, and subsequently published in the "British Journal of Psychology," disclose not a little divergence in the sense in which the terms instinctive and intelligent are used, an underlying divergence in the principles on which the proffered interpretations are based, and indications, more or less clear, of yet deeper-seated differences of philosophical foundation.

This vintage book contains C. Lloyd Morgan's 1927 treatise, "Emergent Evolution". Emergent evolution is a theory stating that, during evolution, completely novel properties - for example the mind and consciousness - appear due to a random resorting of pre-existing entities. This fascinating volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in psychology and evolutionary theory, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of similar literature. Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852 - 1936) was a famous English ethologist and psychologist, best remembered for the experimental approach to animal psychology now known as 'Morgan's canon'. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

""An Introduction to Comparative Psychology"" by C. Lloyd Morgan is a comprehensive guide to the study of animal behavior and cognition. The book explores the similarities and differences between human and animal behavior, and provides an overview of the major theories and research methods used in comparative psychology. The author begins by discussing the history of comparative psychology and its evolution as a scientific discipline. He then covers topics such as the nervous system, perception, learning, memory, motivation, and emotion, examining how these processes are studied in animals and how they relate to human behavior. Throughout the book, Morgan emphasizes the importance of careful observation and experimentation in the study of animal behavior, and provides numerous examples of experiments and studies that illustrate key concepts. He also discusses the ethical considerations involved in working with animals and the need for researchers to balance scientific inquiry with animal welfare. Overall, ""An Introduction to Comparative Psychology"" is an essential resource for students and researchers in the fields of psychology, biology, and animal behavior. It provides a thorough introduction to the study of animal behavior and cognition, and offers valuable insights into the similarities and differences between human and animal behavior.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1898 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
