The story of the mind James Mark 18611934 Baldwin 9781172209545 Books Reviews
This book was pretty good, I have not read the entire book as of yet but think it is very insterting
This book was first published in 1898 and is very dated. For example the author writes about 'natural selection' and then mentions some groups that are not fit to be 'part of the social heritage of our fathers'. I will copy a bit from this chapter at the bottom of this review, so you can see for yourself.
This book will be interesting for anyone who wants to know more about the history of psychology, it gives a fascinating look into past ideas about people, but it is too dated to be useful as a book to learn about current insights in psychology. As a book on the history of psychology I give this book 4 stars, but as a book on psychology only 2 stars because the information is too obsolete.

Index
(From Chapter IX 'The individual mind and society--social psychology')
Now Nature solves the problem among the animals in the simplest of
ways. All the young born in the same family are not exactly alike;
"variations" occur.[...]The best of all the variations
live, and the others die. Those that do live have thus, to all intents
and purposes, been "selected" for the inheritance, just as really as
if the parents of the species had left a will and had been able to
enforce it. This is the principle of "Natural Selection."
[...]
The principle of heredity with variations is a safe assumption to make
also in regard to mankind; and we see at once that in order to come in
for a part in the social heritage of our fathers we must be born fit
for it. We must be born so endowed for the race of social life that we
assimilate, from our birth up, the spirit of the society into which we
are reared. The unfittest, socially, are suppressed.
[...]
First, there is the idiot. He is not available, from a social point of
view, because he varies too much on the side of defect. He shows from
infancy that he is unable to enter into the social heritage because he
is unable to learn to do social things.
[...]
Then there is the extraordinary class of people whom we may describe
by a stronger term than those already employed. We find not only the
unsocial, the negatively unfit, those whom society puts away with pity
in its heart; there are also the antisocial, the class whom we usually
designate as criminals.
[...]
So our lines of eligibility get more and more narrowly drawn.
[...]
it is wonderful
James Baldwin is one of the foremost literary writers of all time. I like the way he brings light to life and tells his stories In a way that you get Ahh Ha Moments over and over again. I highly recommend this piece, Baldwin is a Genius.
Thank you
My fault. Didn't look closely before clicking download. This is NOT the James Baldwin I meant.
It can be a bit slow but good reading. You will learn much-nice couple of parenting and teaching tips for young kids too. Recommend.
