Foreword 



The two bases and primordial postulates of the 

 philosophy which this second part of our work will 

 set forth and sustain, are the following: 



1. That which is essential in the universe and the 



individual is a single ' dynamo-psychism ' primi- 

 tively unconscious but having in itself all 

 potentialities, the innumerable and diverse 

 appearances of things being always its repre- 

 sentations. 



2. The essential and creative dynamo-psychism 



passes by evolution from unconsciousness to 

 consciousness. 



These two propositions rest on facts. They can 

 to-day be made subjects of exact demonstration, first 

 in the individual, and can then, by an extended induction 

 be referred to the universe.
