THE DIRECT JUSTIFICATION OF ENTELECHY 277 



which relate to spatiality exclusively. Spatiality comes 

 into account here only in the sense of a relation to so-called 

 external " things " or imaginary " ideas ' of things, but not 

 to the " brain " or any part of " my body." 



The last element of the first portion of our conscious series 

 is univocally followed by the middle portion of it, and first 

 by its first element, the " seeing the lamp " ; not, however, 

 by this first element alone, but thereafter by all the rest 

 of the middle portion. Here we are faced by a very 

 important problem. 



& THE CONNEXION BETWEEN THE CEREBRAL PORTIONS OF 



ELEMENTS 



The Last Cerebral Element of the First Portion. Relations 

 to the Scientific Analysis of Acting 



The principle of univocal determination * demands that 

 the last phenomenon of the first portion of our series, 

 relating to my brain, le such as to allow the whole of the 

 non-cerebral phenomena of the middle portion to be such 

 as they are. But what is the consequence of this ? We 

 here come into close relation with some analytical 

 results gained already in another part of our lectures, 

 though from quite a different point of view. Whilst 

 dealing with the analysis of action as a phenomenon in 

 Nature, we gave the name " historical basis of reacting " to 

 one of the chief features upon which acting rests : acting 

 not only depends on the individuality of the stimulus 

 which is present but also on the specificity of all former 



1 I do not say the principle of "causality."
