DISCUSSION 231 



We come next to the objections raised by Count 

 von Hoensbroech, but in my opinion not one of them 

 was relevant to the subject of to-night s discussion. I 

 will therefore refrain from making any further com 

 ment upon them ; they concerned questions of re 

 ligion, and were out of order. (Loud applause a 

 few hisses.) 



I have already dealt with the points mentioned 

 by Dr. Juliusburger, who is both a psychologist 

 and an alienist (p. 223 and p. 160, etc.). His argu 

 ments tend to disprove the existence of an intelli 

 gent soul. I should have to speak for a long time, 

 if I were to expound clearly the philosophical con 

 ception of an intelligent soul, and I cannot begin 

 to discuss such a topic to-night. I should like, how 

 ever, to make one remark upon the Theory of Identity, 

 upon which Dr. Juliusburger based his arguments. 

 The theory has been satisfactorily disposed of by 

 Privy Councillor Stumpf in his lecture on Body and 

 Soul, which was the inaugural address given at the 

 International Psychological Congress at Munich, 

 on August 4th, 1896. Cf. also my criticism of Forel s 

 theory of identity in Instinct and Intelligence, 

 3rd ed., chap. xii. 



The monistic avowal, which Dr. Juliusburger 

 made here to-night, of the identity of all existing 

 things, seems to me to correspond more with certain 

 emotions than with logic. I cannot blame any one
