William James' compiled a convincing, lengthy and broad thesis, devoting detail and vigorous analysis in every chapter. The text's comprehensiveness and superb presentation played a pivotal role in bringing the science of mental health closer toward the scholarly mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe entire book is set out intuitively: there are two volumes, each of which has a certain number of chapters. While some chapters have sub-sections, James is careful not to make his textbook dry or convoluted in organisation. Each chapter introduces, discusses and concludes on a particular subject - whether it be the role of psychology as an academic and medical discipline, or the various functions of the human brain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell-read and familiar with the books of his forerunners, William James nevertheless bristles with originality. Although the reader might be tempted to set aside the book for fear of it being outdated, this attitude is unjustified: the ideas pioneered by James remain as intellectually fresh and thought provoking as they did at the conclusion of the 19th century. The one area of the book belonging firmly in the past - namely the neurological experiments upon animals - stands distinct from the remainder of the principle text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the science of psychology has progressed enormously since William James published this book, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Principles of Psychology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e remains a supplementary text in many psychology courses in universities around the world. Concepts which James established, and his personal work on the spiritual element of human psychology, have and continue to inspire new books and theses by professionals and scholars in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam James also summarizes and presents the ideas of other, earlier figures working in the field, some of whom he admires, others he considers with disdain.
