This abridged version is designed to provide readers with a condensed yet still comprehensive understanding of mental philosophy. The book begins with an introduction to the study of mental philosophy and the various theories that have been proposed throughout history. From there, Upham delves into the three main departments of the mind, starting with the intellect. He explores topics such as perception, memory, imagination, and reasoning. The second department Upham discusses is the sensibilities, which includes emotions, desires, and passions. He examines the nature of these feelings and how they relate to the intellect and will. Finally, Upham explores the will, discussing topics such as motivation, decision-making, and free will. He also examines the relationship between the will and the intellect and sensibilities. Overall, The Abridgement of Mental Philosophy is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the human mind.
