SYMBIOGENESIS 



CHAPTER VII. 



PSYCHOGENESIS. 



Mental evolution depending on symbiogenesis The Hering-Butler 

 theory of unconscious memory Identity between heredity and memory 

 Ideas are like organisms in that they have an interdependent existence 

 and grow by symbiotic endeavours Form is mind made manifest in 

 flesh through work Storage and inheritance of mental "capital" 

 Longevity and memory Mentality determined by biological (symbio- 

 genetic) factors Mind and "design" Importance of the physical sub- 

 stratum of memory Feeding and psychogenesis Instinct as inherited 

 memory Incipient consciousness Place of ancestral and individual 

 dynamics in Psychogenesis Genius " Good sense " and evolution 

 Butler versus Darwin The ballast of " Natural Selection " "Cunning" 

 and success Values and services (not mere "luck ") as determinants of 

 status Butler, like Huxley and other political pessimists, only partially 

 recognised "value" The law of service according to values and its 

 bearing upon the doctrine of the political equality of men Democracy, 

 by offering equal opportunity to all talents and by encouraging merit 

 and service rather than mere "Luck" ("inheritance") or mere 

 " Cunning," offers the best chances for an efficient and progressive 

 mutual accommodation of men Degrees of " livingness " The " aroma " 

 of design Chance and "design" in "Love-foods" The "Art of 

 Feeling ' ' and its place in symbiogenesis. 



CHAPTER VIII. 



SCIENCE AND DEMOCRACY. 



Optimism of the symbiogenetic view contrasted with the pessimism 

 of former views of evolution Rehabilitation of Rousseau as the 

 denouncer of exploitation and champion of true democratic restraint, 

 democratic virtue and independence Modern French sociologists return- 

 ing to Rousseau's idealism Biological reason justifying Rousseau's 

 optimism as regards the political equality of men Huxley's bitter 

 attacks on Rousseau unwarranted and mischievous Opposition to 

 Rousseau and extreme views as regards Evolution and Ethics due to a 

 kind of biological antagonism (" extremely irrational attempts to justify 

 our instincts ") Reaction against Huxley's position Reasons why the 

 metaphorical terms " Struggle for existence" and " Natural Selection " 

 should be dismissed from scientific disquisitions Darwinism not stand- 

 ing alone in its (ethical) pessimism and its failure to account for the 

 bio-moral and bio-economic problem of evolution Need of a return to 

 Rousseau's common-sense views of life Value of ancient wisdom (" sub- 

 limed " and "matured" phylogenetic experience) when combined with 

 modern science Man, the reformer.
