Alexander Bain fu un filosofo ed educatore empirista scozzese, pioniere nell'applicazione del metodo scientifico alla psicologia e fondatore della prima rivista del suo genere, *Mind*. Il suo lavoro innovativo influenzò significativamente campi come la psicologia, la linguistica, la logica e la filosofia morale. Come figura di spicco nella riforma educativa, i contributi intellettuali di Bain rimodellarono il pensiero accademico. La sua eredità è saldamente radicata nell'empirismo britannico e nel progresso della filosofia analitica.
