The work is considered a classic in the field of philosophy and is widely studied and debated by scholars and students of philosophy. It is a challenging read, but one that is rewarding for those interested in the nature of human emotions and the role they play in our lives.Again, no one knows how or by what means the mind moves the body, nor how many various degrees of motion it can impart to the body, nor how quickly it can move it. Thus, when men say that this or that physical action has its origin in the mind, which latter has dominion over the body, they are using words without meaning, or are confessing in specious phraseology that they are ignorant of the cause of the said action, and do not wonder at it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
