INTRODUCTION.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATISES OF ARISTOTLE AND
THEIR RELATION TO HIS OTHER WORKS.

PSYCHOLOGY is not the science which the name of Aristotle most immediately suggests. We think of him as the author of that exhaustive analysis of thought and reasoning which we know as Logic, as the encyclopædic worker who first mapped out with any definiteness the limits of first philosophy or metaphysic, or as the writer of that most suggestive text-book of the moralist-the Nicomachean Ethics. But, if psychology be not so directly associated with the name of Aristotle, there can be no doubt but his labours first gave a satisfactory basis for a science dealing with the problems which we now describe as psychological. He is, in short, the founder of Psychology just as surely as he is the founder of Logic: or, at any rate, it is to Aristotle that we owe the first clear conception of a science which should confine itself to the phenomena connected with what we may for the moment call the mind. There had, it is true, been scattered remarks upon psychology spread throughout the observations of the pre-Socratic thinkers: and Plato had not only discussed such questions generally in his writings, but had devoted great part of several dialogues-especially the Phædrus, Phado and Timæus, to this subject.
