Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Materialism (1875) is a philosophical work by James Michell Winn that explores the concept of materialism and its implications for human existence. The book begins by defining materialism as the belief that the physical world is the only reality and that everything can be explained in terms of matter and motion. Winn then examines the history of materialism, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and its development through the Enlightenment and into the 19th century.Throughout the book, Winn argues that materialism has profound implications for human existence, particularly in the areas of morality, ethics, and spirituality. He contends that materialism challenges traditional notions of free will and personal responsibility, and that it can lead to a sense of nihilism and despair.Despite these challenges, Winn ultimately concludes that materialism can be a positive force for human progress and enlightenment. He argues that by embracing the physical world and rejecting superstition and dogma, individuals can achieve a greater understanding of themselves and the universe around them.Overall, Materialism (1875) is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most important philosophical concepts of our time. It challenges readers to consider the implications of materialism for their own lives and the world at large, and to think deeply about the nature of reality and our place within it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Winn was a doctor who devoted much of his career to the treatment of mental illness, both as an author and as the medical superintendent of the Sussex House Lunatic Asylum. Plain Directions was written as guide for "medical men who have not been specially engaged in the treatment of lunacy" (Preface). About half of the book concerns legal issues regarding insane persons, their relatives and physicians and caretakers. It is a useful synopsis of Victorian laws and attitudes towards the mentally ill. Nairne [1804-1886], the recipient of our copy, was one of the Commissioners in Lunacy from 1857 to 1883. Members of this commission, which was established by Parliament in 1845, oversaw asylums and the welfare of the mentally ill in England and Wales.
