Excerpt from How the Mind Works It is sometimes said that 'we are all of us bound to be psychologists.' The proper study indeed the inevitable study - of mankind is man. Yet for the most part we commonly assume that human nature is a thing about which any reasonable person can safely generalize and reach a satisfactory View. To manufacture or repair a lifeless machine - a motor-car, a microphone, a submarine - expert knowledge is essential. But to follow the workings of the growing mind, to guide its development and correct its faults, for that, we imagine, nothing but common sense is needed. No view could be more mistaken. Common sense alone will no more enable us to fathom the mysteries of the human conscious ness than it has helped us to solve the problems of the atom or the star.

The goal of this book is to instill certain basic ideas in the minds of the uninitiated so that they might form the foundation for further research, rather than to provide the principles of psychology in an organized manner. To achieve this, the author has chosen a visual, nearly diagrammatic style of presentation. This facilitates the development of a broad concept structure, enabling the incorporation of specific details. The author has discovered that this is the most effective method for introducing new ideas to readers who are not familiar with philosophical nuances.No particular school of psychology is followed in its teachings; the author is loyal to no one but owes all to others, maintaining that since there is no recognized body of authority in psychological science, each student must evaluate the theories to which he or she is asked to adhere in the context of their own experiences. This book's goal is fundamentally practical, written in response to a practical necessity. The author's experience in remedial psychology led her to observe that a basic understanding of how the mind functions could have prevented many cases of mental and nervous disorders. She also discovered that many patients could have recovered with just an explanation of these concepts and that even in cases where further treatment was necessary, having this knowledge would have sped up the healing process by allowing the patient to cooperate intelligently. According to her, no book addresses psychopathology from the perspective of the patient, who requires a basic understanding of mental rules to think hygienically. Instead, the book approaches the subject from the student's perspective. This book aims to fulfill that need, yet it also resonates with those seeking to unleash their hidden potential through the practical application of character and thinking principles. It is not limited to those who are mentally or physically ill.

Machinery of Mind is a full-scale, indispensable examination of the history, content, politics, and philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. In detail, consecutively but with a keen awareness of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, Johnson traces the history of the burgeoning science from its earliest practitioners to corporation-funded engineers and experts: Roger Schank, Terry Winograd, Doug Lenat and others who are struggling to create machines that can actually think independently, going beyond man-made programs and "games." Johnson presents the counterarguments of some theorists that intelligence is less than soul and that the "new science" moves arrogantly into dangerous territory. Necessarily inconclusive, this fascinating study is clear, comprehensive, richly detailed, and endlessly provocative.
