HUMAN CONTROL 



quences and because we do not see how 

 mind fits Into such a system, therefore (it 

 is argued) consciousness is an epiphe- 

 nomenon or a sort of by-product which 

 can be left out of the scientific reckoning 

 altogether. This does not follow. There 

 are no by-products in a total view of na- 

 ture. And the fact that we do not know 

 how these things are related does not 

 prove that there is no natural relation- 

 ship between them. This is a question of 

 fact to be determined on evidence. If pre- 

 judged, it can only be on metaphysical 

 grounds, and our "antimetaphysical" sci- 

 entific leaders must watch their steps lest 

 they become more hopelessly entangled in 

 metaphysics than the metaphysicians them- 

 selves. 



The methods of the "objective psychol- 

 ogists" are sound scientifically as far as 

 they go and they have contributed much 

 to our understanding of animal and human 

 behavior. But they cannot claim to give 

 a complete and scientifically adequate ac- 

 count of human experience. When con- 

 sciousness (awareness of some sort) is 

 present in a situation, this is a fact of ex- 

 perience which cannot be neglected in a 

 total view of the experience.
