On Consciousness

What is consciousness and how are our thoughts born? How are the brain, nervous system, thinking, memory, and perception connected? These questions continue to intrigue scientists to this day — but Maria Mikhailovna Manaseina explored them back in the 19th century! In her 1896 book «On Consciousness», the outstanding domestic researcher addresses one of the main mysteries of psychology — the nature of human consciousness. From this book, you will learn: • how the human psyche is structured; • what role the nervous system plays; • how sensations, perception, memory, and thinking are interconnected; • where the boundary lies between the physical and the mental. Science has advanced far, but the questions posed by the author remain relevant today. «On Consciousness» — an opportunity to rediscover the forgotten classics of psychology and see how over a century ago scientists attempted to unravel the mechanisms of our psyche.
