内容简介
里德一七六四年的第一部书，也是他最直截的一部：逐一考察五官，以证明知觉的运作并非公认哲学所说的那样。
背景与流传
里德开篇便交代：读休谟时他发现，休谟的结论是从一条人人接受的前提正确地推出来的；那么，出问题的必是那条前提。此书就是把这一证明落到一个个具体的例子上：嗅觉一章、味觉一章、听觉一章、触觉一章，视觉则占四章。在每一章里他都表明：感觉与知觉并非一事，而我们所知觉到的不是观念，是对象。他对视觉、尤其是对距离知觉的分析，影响了后来的实验心理学。里德篇幅更大的两部——《人的智力》与《人的能动之力》——语料库中皆有，成书都在此之后。
这是编辑性背景，不是可引用的来源：与作品本身的段落不同，这些说明无法在语料库中核对。
The language of philosophers, with regard to the original faculties of the mind, is so adapted to the prevailing system that it cannot fit any other ; like a coat that fits the man for whom it was made, and shows him to advantage, which yet will sit very awkward upon one of a different make, although perhaps as handsome and as well proportioned. It is hardly possible to make any innovation in our philosophy concerning the mind and its operations, without using new words and phrases, or giving a different meaning to those that are received ; a liberty which, even when necessary, creates prejudice and misconstruction, and which must wait the sanction of time to authorize it. For, innovations in language, like those in religion and government, are always suspected and disliked by the many, till use hath made them familiar and prescription have given them a title. If the original perceptions and motions of the mind were to make their appearance single and unmixed, as we first received them from the hand of nature, one accustomed to reflection would have less difficulty in tracing them ; but before we are capable of reflection, they are so mixed, compounded, and decompounded by habits, associations, and abstractions, that it is hard to know what they were originally. The mind may in this respect be compared to an apothecary or a chemist, whose materials indeed are furnished by nature; but for the purposes of his art, he mixes, compounds, dissolves, evaporates, and sublimes them, till they put on a quite different appearance ; so that it is very difficult to know what they were 6 OF THE HUMAN MIND.
