Samuel Alexander
"Thus the same object may supply a practical perception to one person and a speculative one to another, or the same person may perceive it partly practically and partly speculatively."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life."

Life

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"But though cognition is not an element of mental action, nor even in any real sense of the word an aspect of it, the distinction of cognition and conation has if properly defined a definite value."

Action

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"It may be added, to prevent misunderstanding, that when I speak of contemplated objects in this last phrase as objects of contemplation, the act of contemplation itself is of course an enjoyment."

Act

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"An object is not first imagined or thought about and then expected or willed, but in being actively expected it is imagined as future and in being willed it is thought."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"Hence, in desiring, the more the enjoyment is delayed, the more fancy begins to weave about the object images of future fruition, and to clothe the desired object with properties calculated to inflame the impulse."

Desire

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"For psychological purposes the most important differences in conation are those in virtue of which the object is revealed as sensed or perceived or imaged or remembered or thought."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well."

Desire

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"The perceptive act is a reaction of the mind upon the object of which it is the perception."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Samuel Alexander
"When we come to images or memories or thoughts, speculation, while always closely related to practice, is more explicit, and it is in fact not immediately obvious that such processes can be described in any sense as practical."
