Mind Summary

Mind: An Essay on Human Feeling by Susanne K. Langer

Volume III complete the publication of Susanne Langer's monumental treatise on the rise and development of mind-an exclusively human phenomenon- by evolution from animal intelligence to intellectual intuition. More than two decades in the making, Mind: An Essay on Human Feeling is the crowning achievement of one of the most seminal and refreshing philosophers of our time.

The conlusion of the Essay, originally intended to deal with epistemology and metaphysics, has been abrogated by the author's encroaching blindness. This curtailment notwithstanding, Mind: An Essay on Human Feeling splendidly achieves its purpose: to suggest ideas which other people may be able to use in their own work, anywhere and everywhere in the great domain of philosophical thought.

Mind Reviews

Langer has brought to light ideas of astonishing depth, exactness, power and reach... The emanations may well leave their trace on all of us. Washington Post A great and beautiful work of genius... A conceptual scheme of such radiance that no one who wishes to think deeply about mentality and behavior will be able to do without it. Chicago Daily News, reviewing the complete edition
