  2. William James: CONSCIOUSNESS According to James, consciousness is the starting place of all psychology; the most crucial aspect of human mentality. But, it was a phenomenon too familiar to be given a definition. James believed that everyone took themselves to be possessors of conscious states that were accessible by introspection—the most fundamental of all the postulates of psychology. “I would discard all curious inquiries about its certainty as too metaphysical…” Principles of Psychology, 1890 1842-1910

  5. William James: ATTENTION “Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others.” Principles of Psychology, 1890 1842-1910
