The Analysis Of Mind by Bertrand Russell
A systematic investigation of consciousness and mental life that combines analytic philosophy with contemporary psychology, arguing that perception, memory, emotion and volition can be dissected into sense-data, associative connections and physiological dispositions rather than treated as immaterial souls; it rejects simple dualism and reductive materialism in favor of a neutral account in which events or experiences serve as the common basis for what we call mental and physical, and shows how habits, memory, belief and intentionality can be explained by associative learning and nervous-system dispositions.
