Elements of thought;

Isaac Taylor’s work investigates the nature and operation of thought, treating mental life as the basis for human experience and moral development. Though broader than later New Thought writing, it anticipates that movement’s concern with the powers of mind, and readers will find philosophical reflections on cognition, consciousness, and the formation of character.

Isaac Taylor (1787–1865) was an English writer, engraver, and cleric whose works engaged questions of theology, symbolism, and early religious history. His books on biblical antiquity and the development of religious ideas were influential in Victorian discussions of religion and intellectual history.
