February Week 2 - Huxley On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals

Since class was postponed last week, this week we will discuss Pavlov and Huxley and relate them to a BYU speech called Thinking Habits and Dispositions. 
 
So for this week...
1. Read volume 8 pages 155-159; and 197-204 On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals (feel free to read the whole article if you find it interesting!)
2. Read volume 8 pages 291-309 Scientific Study of the Psychical Processes ...
OR read pages 291-293 and parts of 294-309 (whatever catches your eye) AND watch the movies on the blog.
4. Post a question and bring a quote
5. Do something of your choosing to help you deepen your understanding

  2. I really liked the analogy Brother Sudweeks used about the stray cat on our yards!

    Do you think that sometimes we close our blinds, and we can't always see those bad thoughts? Are they often in our subconscious? And is this still dangerous?

  3. How do we change orange our thinking habits?
    What is the difference between thinking and understanding?
    Will we be judged by unintentional thoughts?
