  1. 
  The 
  Approach 
  to 
  the 
  Problem. 
  

  

  IT 
  is 
  with 
  a 
  heightened 
  sense 
  of 
  responsibility 
  that 
  we 
  

   turn 
  to 
  the 
  ancient 
  problem 
  of 
  the 
  relation 
  of 
  body 
  and 
  

   mind. 
  But 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  question 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  biologist 
  

   has 
  something 
  to 
  say, 
  and 
  it 
  cannot 
  be 
  evaded 
  in 
  a 
  study 
  

   of 
  Animate 
  Nature 
  nor 
  in 
  prolegomena 
  to 
  a 
  philosophy 
  of 
  

   Animate 
  Nature. 
  By 
  the 
  latter 
  we 
  mean 
  a 
  consistent 
  think- 
  

   ing 
  together 
  of 
  -what 
  we 
  know 
  and 
  feel 
  about 
  Animate 
  Na- 
  

   ture 
  along 
  with 
  what 
  we 
  know 
  and 
  feel 
  about 
  other 
  orders 
  

   of 
  facts. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  view 
  to 
  which 
  a 
  biologist 
  is 
  most 
  naturally 
  led 
  

   may 
  seem, 
  at 
  first 
  sight, 
  disappointing, 
  and 
  may 
  even 
  be 
  

   misunderstood 
  as 
  a 
  capitulation 
  of 
  the 
  citadel 
  of 
  personality, 
  

   we 
  would 
  plead 
  that 
  after 
  we 
  get 
  past 
  what 
  seems 
  to 
  most 
  

   thinkers 
  the 
  quite 
  untenable 
  position 
  of 
  crude 
  materialism, 
  

   with 
  its 
  Gothamite 
  metaphysic, 
  and 
  what 
  seems 
  to 
  most 
  

   scientific 
  workers 
  the 
  quite 
  untenable 
  position 
  of 
  subjective 
  

   idealism, 
  and 
  the 
  theory 
  of 
  epiphenomenalism, 
  which 
  is 
  

   materialism 
  in 
  modern 
  garb, 
  the 
  conclusion 
  we 
  come 
  to 
  does 
  

   not 
  imply 
  any 
  practical 
  depreciation 
  of 
  the 
  reality 
  of 
  the 
  

   bodily 
  system 
  and 
  activity 
  on 
  the 
  one 
  hand, 
  or 
  of 
  spiritual
