	Alexander Bain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Alexander Bain was born in Skene Square, Aberdeen on 11 June 1818 and died, also in Aberdeen, on 18 September 1903.
		Bain’s achievement was to combine a thoroughgoing and consistent associationism with an exhaustive taxonomic catalogue of the facts of everyday human experience and action (from coughing and sneezing to artistic creation and scientific discovery) and a detailed and up-to-date account of the physiology of sensation and movement.
		Bain’s general belief that the analysis of mind could be furthered by an understanding of the nervous system was undoubtedly influenced by the ‘physiological psychology’ of William B. Carpenter, with whom Bain was in regular contact during his London years.

	Alexander Bain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander Bain (June 11, 1818 - September 18, 1903) was a Scottish philosopher and educationalist.
		In 1860 he was appointed by the crown to the new chair of logic and English literature at the University of Aberdeen (created by the amalgamation of the two colleges, King's and Marischal, by the Scottish Universities Commission of 1858).
		Bain took a keen interest and frequently an active part in the political and social movements of the day; after his retirement from the chair of logic, he was twice elected lord rector of the university (1881, ;?), each term of office extending over three years.

	Alexander Bain (inventor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander Bain (October 1811 – January 2, 1877), was a clockmaker who invented an electric clock, the electric printing telegraph and the first fax machine.
		Bain's ideas on electrical horology were incorparated in five English patents taken out during the period 1841 to 1852, and these also include much of his work on telegraphy.
		Initially Bain made a considerable sum from his inventions but, due to poor investments, he was eventually supported only by his Civil List pension of £80 per year.

	Alexander Bain, "Conscience is Learned"
		Bain argues that conscience or "the moral sense" is identified with education under authority by the means of punishment.
		Bain does not mention Hubbard Winslow's "delightful feeling of self-approval" as being a characteristic or function of conscience and denies that moral feelings are inborn or natural to human beings.
		Bain states that although there is nothing innate or natural in the feelings of conscience, they can be amplified by feelings of self-interest or sympathy which are natural or inborn feelings and generally happen to coincide with moral right and wrong.

		Bains first patent is dated January 11th, 1841, and is in the name of John Barwise, chronometer maker, and Alexander Bain, mechanist, Wigmore Street.
		In 1847 Bain devised an automatic method of playing on wind instruments by moving a band of perforated paper which controlled the supply of air to the pipes; and likewise proposed to play a number of keyed instruments at a distance by means of the electric current.

	Alexander Bain (1818 - 1903)
		Alexander Bain, one of the famous British Utilitarians, was early proponent of scientific psychology.
		Together with James Mill and his son, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection.
		Bain also made his most recognized contribution to the revolution of the field, by separating the feelings of movement from actual movement itself, arguing that action was independent of sensation, and could exist independent of any external stimulus.

		In this respect he agreed with Alexander Bain, professor at Aberdeen, a writer of far greater importance in a philosophical regard.
		Bain was younger than Mill and long outlived him; he assisted him in some of his works, especially the Logic; he wrote numerous works himself; but his pre-eminence was in psychology, to which his chief contributions were two elaborate books, The Senses and the Intellect (1855) and The Emotions and the Will (1859).
		But Bain’s work is wonderfully complete as a treatment of the principle of the association of ideas; and, perhaps, he has said the last word that can be said in favour of this principle as the ultimate explanation of mind.

		The “education values” of different studies are stated as they train intelligence or impart useful information; but they are not equated, and the results do not affect the consideration of a “renovated curriculum” in science, the humanities and the mother-tongue.
		Bain was singularly unfortunate in forecasting the trend of practice.
		Bain used the term rhetoric to cover all kinds of literary composition, and, like other members of the school, tried to form a psychological groundwork for its principles.

		Bain's failure to appreciate the significance of the findings of his former pupil is the more remarkable because the conception of cerebral functions which Ferrier put forward was so obviously a confirmation of Bain's earlier speculations.
		Bain's analysis of motor phenomena was the first union of the new physiology with a detailed association psychology in the English, tradition and he thereby laid the psychological foundations of a thoroughgoing sensory-motor psychophysiology.
		Bain's emphasis on movements was a new departure for the associationists and is in striking contrast to James Mill's views.

	BAIN ALEXANDER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In his psychology as in his philosophical thought, Bain’s ideas were focussed on the major principles of the thought of the British empiricists, especially associationism based on the belief that man’s psychological life is regulated by laws of association; this is the fundamental psychological process concerning human impressions and mental images.
		Bain’s aspirations went further—he wanted to construct empirical psychology as a distinct science that used the method of introspection and what have as its basic task to treat the human psyche in purely mechanistic terms.
		Here Bain connected strictly psychological processes (the volitional and emotional aspect of man’s life) with their foundations of a physiological nature (so-called physiological psychology), which would indicate a materialistic interpretation of his views and—despite pushing on the margins of metaphysical question—seem to represent in this respect a position close to subjectivistic idealism.

		Alexander Bain and his twin sister Margaret were born in October 1811 of humble parents near Watten, between Thurso and Wick in Caithness, at the extreme north of Scotland.
		Bain improved his electrical clock in following patents, and also proposed to derive the motive electricity from an "earth battery," by burying plates of zinc and copper in the ground.
		Alexander Bain received a British patent on 27 May, 1843 for "improvements in producing and regulating electric currents and improvements in timepieces and in electric printing and signal telegraphs." Hence, Bain designed a device to scan a two-dimensional surface and sent it over wires.

	Modern Views of Sexual Emotion - Alexander Bain
		It is notable that the psychologist Alexander Bain's account of sexual love follows, on the whole, that of Spencer, with "appetite and personal charm" having the leading role as the basis of attraction.
		This emotion is further distinguished, he notes — as Spencer did not — by the concentration of interest upon one person.
		Bain observes that "there is a form of the love of the sexes that does not call forth the appetite." He anticipates findings to be later presented in the statement that "The interest awakened by one sex towards the other precedes sexual gratification, and goes on in its absence.
