Théodule Ribot; F.A. Welby (Trans.) — The Evolution of General Ideas

Chicago, Open Court, 1899. Cloth. An influential text on psychology and philosophy, by the important French psychologist, Théodule Ribot. This text is the authorised first English translation, replete with charming publisher's catalogue. Théodule Ribot (1839-1916) was an influential French psychologist. Influenced by Hartley, Mill, Spencer, and Bain, he founded the Revue Philosophique de la France et de l'étranger' (French and Foreign Philosophy Review). His primary focus was on the physical elements of mental life, rather that the spiritual. His work was highly regarded, so much so that Ribot was admitted into École Normale Supérieure, one of the most highly regarded universities in France.
