Beschreibung
Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual was F. M. Alexander’s second book: it was published in 1923 in the USA and in 1924 in England. It was reprinted several times in England and the USA. The present edition consists of Alexander’s authorised 1946 edition. It contains two prefaces by Alexander and an introduction by the educational philosopher John Dewey. Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual develops the argument set forth in Alexander’s first book, Man’s Supreme Inheritance. Alexander shows that most of our movements, thoughts, and actions are dictated more by our feelings than by reasoning and that we can develop a reasoning consciousness. Instead of relying on subconscious guidance and control Alexander offers a practical remedy in the resumption of the conscious control of our whole activities. The famous chapter “Illustration” includes a comprehensive description how to apply his method of conscious control to a simple activity. Throughout he explains the importance of sensory appreciation and discusses it in relation to a number of themes, including education, the pursuit of happiness, and the fulfillment of our needs. The Alexander Technique is a method for developing conscious use of oneself in all activities of living. F. Matthias Alexander (1869–1955) started to develop the Technique in the early 1890s in Australia. Alexander had discovered that there exists a primary control which conditions the use of the self. He showed how this control can be employed in order to develop conscious control of one’s use in daily life. He began to teach his technique in Australia in 1894, and then moved to London where he taught from 1904. In 1931 he established a course for training teachers in his technique. He wrote four books on his technique. Mouritz has published scholarly editions of Alexander's books with the copyright permissions of the Estate of F. M. Alexander since 1995.
