Mind (journal)
Mind is a significant British philosophical journal that appears by Oxford University Press under the auspices of the Mind Association and largely debates of the analytic tradition dedicated.
Mind was founded in 1876 with George Croom Robertson by Alexander Bain, which issued the magazine at University College London. After the death of Robertson's 1891 George Frederick Stout took over the publication and started the New Series. Current publisher is Thomas Baldwin of the University of York.
The first books devoted primarily to the discussion of whether psychology could legitimately be considered as natural science. For the purpose of the journal Robertson wrote in the first issue:
" Now, if there were a journal did set Itself to record all advances in psychology, and gave encouragement to special researches by its readiness to publish them, the uncertainty hanging over the subject Could hardly fail to be dispelled. Either psychology would in time pass with general consent into the company of the sciences, or the hollowness of its pretensions would be plainly revealed. Nothing less, in fact, is Aimed at in the publication of Mind than to procure a decision of this question as to the scientific standing of psychology. "
Already the first editions of Mind published important essays of emerging analytic tradition, including about Bertrand Russell's famous essay On Denoting by 1905; later appeared, for example, Alan Turing's proposal of the Turing test in the edition of 1950.
