The Art of Thought

by Graham Wallas

The Art of Thought, originally published in 1926, was the first work to give a clear, inspiring, and authoritative exposition of the process of reasoning, in language adapted to the general reader as well as the student of psychology. It established itself as a standard guide to the mechanism of thought, and its message remains of essential value to a world confronted with problems of increasing complexity.
