About this book
Psychology: An Elementary Text-book is by Hermann Ebbinghaus. The translator's preface says the present book is a free translation of Ebbinghaus's Abriss der Psychologie. The text says Hobbes and Spinoza became the champions of universal causation. The text says freedom of action in the sense of causelessness is an empty concept.
The text says we can will to do only that which in its elements we have previously done by instinct. The text gives the example of a child and sugar, where the sight of sugar reproduces at once its taste and the child wills, desires, to have the sugar. The text says that in handicraft and in architecture the work as a material thing serves a practical purpose, while as a work of art it serves esthetic enjoyment.
