الصفحة 158 - Here, indeed, we arrive at the barrier which needs to be perpetually pointed out; alike to those who seek materialistic explanations of mental phenomena, and to those who are alarmed lest such explanations may be found. The last class prove by their fear, almost as much as the first prove by their hope, that they believe Mind may possibly be interpreted in terms of Matter; whereas many whom they vituperate as materialists, are profoundly convinced that there is not the remotest possibility of so...

When we have pushed our explorations of the first to the uttermost limit, we are referred to the second for a final answer; and when we have got the final answer of the second we are referred back to the first for an interpretation of it...
الصفحة 159 - Mind, as known to the possessor of it, is a circumscribed aggregate of activities ; and the cohesion of these activities, one with another, throughout the aggregate, compels the postulation of a something of which they are the activities. But the same experiences which make him aware of this coherent aggregate of mental activities, simultaneously make him aware of activities that are not included in it — outlying activities which become known by their effects on this aggregate, but which are experimentally...
الصفحة 75 - ... disintegrant of the tissues, including nerve-tissue; or whether it simply facilitates by its presence molecular disintegrations otherwise caused ; or whether it serves merely to combine 'with, and carry away, the products of such disintegrations otherwise caused ; are questions about which there are differences of opinion. But there can be no difference of opinion as to the necessity for an oxygenated blood. And opinions can scarcely differ respecting the general relation that exists between...
