THE RELATION OF MIND AND BODY 299 



In drawing these conclusions I am only following on the 

 lines of great philosophers who have reached essentially the 

 same results. It is unfortunate that owing to faults on both 

 sides there has in recent times been so little real contact 

 between natural science and philosophy; but I hope that this 

 discussion in an assembly of men of science may prove a step 

 in promoting closer relations in future and once more bringing 

 these two great branches of human knowledge and endeavour 

 into living connexion.
