THE immense popularity which Bergson's philosophy enjoys is sometimes cast up against him, by those who do not agree with him, as a reproach. It has been suggested that Berg-son's writings are welcomed simply because they offer a theoretical justification for a tendency which is natural in all of us but against which philosophy has always fought, the tendency to throw reason overboard and just let ourselves go. Bergson is regarded by rationalists almost as a traitor to philosophy, or as a Bolshevik inciting the public to overthrow what it has taken years of painful effort to build up.

""The Misuse of Mind"" is a non-fiction book written by Stephen and Karin Stephen. The book explores the idea of how the human mind can be misused and manipulated for various purposes, including propaganda, advertising, and political control. The authors delve into the history of mind manipulation, beginning with the ancient Greeks and moving through to the modern era, discussing the techniques used by various governments and organizations to control the thoughts and actions of individuals. The book also offers insights into how individuals can protect themselves from these manipulations and maintain control over their own minds. Overall, ""The Misuse of Mind"" is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the workings of the human mind and the ways in which it can be exploited for various purposes.COMMON sense starts out with the assumption that what we know directly is such things as trees, grass, anger, hope and so on, and that these things have qualities such as solidity, greenness, unpleasantness and so on, which are also facts directly known. It is not very difficult to show that, if we examine the facts which we know directly, we cannot find in them any such things as trees, grass, or minds, over and above the various qualities which we say belong to them. I see one colour and you see another: both of them are colours belonging to the grass but neither of us can find anything among the facts known to him corresponding to this grass, regarded as something over and above its various qualities, to which those qualities are supposed to belong.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
